Just Economics LLC
With more than 35 years of experience, Just Economics helps communities harmonize economic incentives with public policy objectives to:
- reduce blight by putting vacant and boarded-up properties back into use;
- enhance business and employment opportunities;
- fund transit and other public infrastructure;
- reduce parking and traffic congestion;
- enhance housing affordability;
- enhance the environment;
- balance budgets; and
- reduce sprawl.
Just Economics accomplishes these goals by helping communities re-engineer taxes, fees, and regulations so that:

A good idea that does not gain political support is ultimately not good enough. Just Economics helps public officials and the public understand old and new policies through story-telling, examples, and humor.
Easy-to-understand discussions in a respectful environment allow stakeholders to see issues with a new perspective, build consensus, and achieve better outcomes.
