Georgism needs an ad campaign. Get people talking about "LVT+UBI" or something like that. Emphasize things like "No Income Tax!" and "No Sales Tax!"

@thejcorn I wonder how a land-value tax that does not tax the building would help the situation (see ).

The 4plex probably is valued more than McMansion because it really is more valuable use of "the same land" therefore under current property tax which includes the building would pay more tax than the McMansion.

With LVT same land across the street would be valued the same so they would pay more than today. Single-detached homes would all pay more.

Land ownership is the primordial sin, the force that alienated people from each other and the environment at large. It was what allowed petty kings to turn people into serfs and slaves. Just like we got rid of kings, we should get rid of the idea of private land and instead make it a subject of democratic processes.

Opinion: Land Ownership Makes No Sense wired.com/story/land-ownership '“There’s no such thing as a good landlord” is a rallying cry of angry renters. In the future, it might be conventional morality that it’s simply wrong to own land.'

Rent control and public housing have a poor track record.

The best and easiest solutions are to implement a land value tax and ease zoning restrictions that prevent the construction of new homes.

is a supply and demand problem, increasing the supply will lower the cost.

@danneidle Yes. We should replace Stamp Duty on land transactions (and all the other land-based taxes) with an annual tax on the unimproved value of the land.

What in the actual fuck do you think the tax system even *is*, if it is not one and the same as the political system??!!

If we had an annual tax on land values, this could replace inheritance tax on land, which might be as popular as any tax change could hope to be.

With the harvesting our collective (and now creative output via ), and the set to explode - perhaps it's time to re-examine concepts like in light of a broader understanding of what might constitute the . A tax on revenue generated from using anything that belongs to everyone could be leveraged to do some real good in the world and incentivise resource efficiency. Letting it all slide means wildly exacerbating .
