Could a vacancy tax help Oakland with homelessness?




Marketplace All-in-One show

Summary: <p class="p1"><span>(Markets Edition) We take a look at inflation numbers in light of the Consumer Price Index’s rise by a tenth of a percent last month. Then we talk about pollution from a seemingly unlikely source: meat. Large meat processors have released more pollution than acceptable in streams and rivers according to a new study. Also, Oakland is seeing a rise in homelessness possibly due to climbing rents, so a tax on vacant properties is being discussed. <span>Today's show is sponsored by </span><span>GAIN Capital Group, (</span><a href="https://www.gaincapital.com/"><span>gaincapital.com</span></a><span>), Michigan Economic Development Corporation </span><a href="https://planetm.michiganbusiness.org/"><span>(planetm.com</span></a><span>) and PayPal (</span><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/home"><span>paypal.com</span></a><span>). </span><span>(10/11/2018)</span></span></p>
