Leon Phat           

There's nobody out there like Leon Phat! Nobody!

Nobody else (yet!) recognizes the real power in community . . . and is willing to use it!

Nobody else recognizes that social geography value is entirely community generated. In your imagination remove all structures and improvements to and upon any given parcel of land in San Francisco. Whatever value remains attached to that land is there because of the community. Period.

It's what real esate agents mean by "location, location, location."

It's what community organizers mean by "Si, se puede!"

It's what kids and teachers mean by, "Can't say, can't play."

Streets and schools, fire and police protection, surrounding businesses and neighborhood ambiance. Whether you or anyone else owns that site, its value is the same, and that demonstrates that locational value is community generated.

Leon Phat will use that community-generated value to 

• Ensure more and better housing
  
• Fund neighborhood governance*
• Raise wages
  
• Eliminate the state income tax
• Business fast track
• Abolish business taxes
  
• Eliminate the state sales tax 

*For grass roots, community governance, Phat proposes block councils and precinct councils, funded by allocating one half of one percent of the property tax to each voting precinct. These funds wil be available to each precinct to use as it sees fit.

Under every big building is even phatter land

Under every big business is even phatter land

Under every big idea is even phatter land

Leon Phat wants to put the phat back into community

Because land values are
