Good thread here from Dylan, worth spotlighting this point: There's an argument that failing to tax unrealized capital gains is actually *bad* for business/innovation. This is why some conservative economists (including Trump/Reagan adviser Art Laffer) have supported the policy

A frustratingly large number of people are reading this tweet and concluding, "He must be arguing that we should keep housing unaffordable to prop up home values; I should express outrage about that imaginary claim, instead of reading the piece" (which argues the exact opposite)
