David Wilbur traveled the ten week distance of The Henry George School’s “The Fundamentals of Economics” course some twelve or more years ago, then went on his way as a CPA and tax consultant.
About three years ago, his interest in better community financing and planning burgeoned, prompting him to attend first one then a rasher of Citizen Advisory Committees. Now he sits on San Francisco’s Assessment Appeals Board, volunteers with the Tenant’s Union, and frequents a slew of planning forums.

But the apex, to date, of his participation as a citizen must be his leadership in founding the Housing and Land Use Working Group, part of the San Francisco Chapter of the Green Party. The stated mission of this group is to educate itself and the general Green Party membership in the economic dynamics of and political protocol and machinations involved in producing housing and land use legislation. And then to guide the Green Party in initiating coherent land use policy and either defending or challenging externally proposed legislation.

David minces no words in acknowledging the significant role George’s Progress and Poverty has played in his thinking. “Reading that book will forever change the way you look at land use issues.”

It’s sweet to meet such men and women as David Wilbur for their experience confirms our labors do hold water with folk.
