The Henry George Program (podcast) just released an episode on the progress of rail electrification in the USA. TLDR: almost no progress.

Still a good episode to listen to.

The homestead principal is bullshit. Nobody should be able to claim exclusive rights over natural resources or intellectual property just because they discovered it first.
Personal property is justifiable when you acquire it through your own hard work. Private property in land can never be justifiable since land is not a resource that can be created. Landowners don’t have to add anything to society to appropriate obscene amounts of wealth; they simply need to hold a monopoly over what should otherwise belong equally to all members of society. Landed/intellectual property is then, by its very nature, theft. When you claim the exclusive rights to natural opportunities such as land or ideas, what you are essentially doing is robbing others of their own natural rights to use that place/idea.
This is (part of) what many anti-capitalists mean by “property is theft.” We aren’t talking about property in the personal sense (i.e. your stuff), we’re talking about realty and IP.

(Of course, there is also an argument to be made that “property is theft” is also used to refer to private property in capital—the ‘theft’ bit referring more to the appropriation of surplus value as profit by the bourgeoisie—but I digress.)

Removing and reverting to that increases the more land one owns is imperative (known as ).

Some economists and housing advocates say there is a common factor behind all this vacant land: a property tax system that combines low taxes on land with high taxes on buildings
“There’s no incentive to do anything except to sit on it”

Shortage Reflects the Cheap Cost of Holding Vacant Land
