Series: Unwind The LIHTC, Create Tax Benefits For Builders And Families
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There is no doubt that over its 36-year life that the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has housed many people. But how many? As my last post showed, there are many known unknowns about how and how well the LIHTC has functioned over those years. For example, a common number offered as an answer to the question, “how many units has LIHTC created over its 36 years?” the answer is often something like 29 million. Where does that figure come from? Column V in the LIHTC “database,” a column in the Excel spreadsheet that has 3,000 blanks and 1,500 cells with “0” as the answer. It is a challenge to reform a federal expenditure when no deep evaluation is possible for lack of good data. However, I’d like to close the LIHTC portion of the look back at Paul Ryan’s critique with some ideas for reform. I’ve concluded that the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program isn’t really a program at all. It is behemoth , a complex of … [Read more...] about Series: Unwind The LIHTC, Create Tax Benefits For Builders And Families

A Lucky Accident: How Spanish Puerto De Indias Made The First Strawberry Gin
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The world’s first strawberry gin was launched by Puerto de Indias in Seville, Spain, in 2013. This is the story of how an over-ripe batch of strawberries, a historic distillery and what some might call a fortuitous accident inspired a new liquor category. The story behind strawberry gin begins in 2008 when two Sevillian brothers with a background in the construction industry set about trying to sell an old distillery. This proved tricky, as the distillery was considered a notable monument, due to its history dating back to the 19th century, and the presence of an underground water spring from Roman times. Unable to sell the distillery, the brothers instead decided to make the most of it. Gin is the most-sold liquor category in Spain "They started exploring the potential of the business, making different kinds of liquor, experimenting with different fruits," explains Juan Miguel Pérez Ilzarbe, International … [Read more...] about A Lucky Accident: How Spanish Puerto De Indias Made The First Strawberry Gin
