Türkiye’de belediye imar rantları yıllık 100 milyar dolar olarak buharlaşmaktadır. İhracatımızın yarısına yakın bir değerdir sözkonusu olan.

Oysa, 1997-2001 döneminde bulunduğum Hong Kong’da imar rantları hazineye aktarılmaktadır. Hong Kong örneği pozitif anlamda önemli. Düşük verginin temelinde kent rantlarının kamuya gelir kaynağı olması yatıyor.

Bizde ise Kırk Haramiler her yerde. Hong Kong’da imar rantları kamuya ait olduğu için vergi oranı da sadece %16’dır. Rantlar kamunun malı olmadığı müddetçe, her yer karanlık.

Parasal kaynak aslında ülkede sürekli belediye rantları şeklinde üretilmektedir, dış borç alınmasına gerek yoktur.

Fakat belediyeleri elinde bulunduran iktidar partisi ve ana muhalefet partisinin yerelde örtülü ortaklığı neticesinde de bu kaynaklar toplumdan alınmakta ve kişilerin elinde heba edilmektedir.

Siyaset, toplumun iyiliği için yapılan yüce bir faaliyet ise konunun meclis gündemine getirilerek yasallaştırılması elzemdir, dış borç sarmalının bu şekilde önüne geçilmiş olunacaktır.
