  • Who Is Buying Seattle? the Perils of the Luxury Real Estate Boom
    About the Luxury Real Estate Project of the Institute for Policy Studies. The Luxury Real Estate Project, a project of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, is undertaking several activities, including: • Mapping the trends — local, national, global — at the intersection of global/hidden wealth and local real estate/luxury housing. • Researching and articulating the public interest case for taxing and regulating luxury real estate. • Identifying the best policies and practices for reforming and regulating luxury real estate activities and hidden wealth practices. • Generating city-by-city and national reports and series of articles and op-eds about the problems luxury real estate creates. • Supporting local affordable housing coalitions as they press for rule changes and revenue for permanently affordable housing. About the Program on Inequality and the Common Good The IPS Program on Inequality and the Common Good was founded in 2006 to draw attention to the growing dangers of concentrated wealth and power, and to advocate policies and practices to reverse extreme inequalities in income, wealth, and opportunity. The program has been investigating the intersection of inequality and race, taxation, philanthropy and the problem of hidden wealth.
