That's the title of Chris Edwards' post here. And in another post he notes a study which estimates vacant sites gain 20% in price from the opportunity zone designation. Those of us with any understanding of political economy won't be surprised, of course. We might hope that Edwards will wonder about how land values are affected by other kinds of favors, services, and facilities which the community provides.
