@thejcorn I wonder how a land-value tax that does not tax the building would help the situation (see #Georgism).
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. #Georgism
Opinion: Land Ownership Makes No Sense https://www.wired.com/story/land-ownership-morality-economics-georgism/#intcid=_wired-verso-hp-trending_78bb57ce-1b41-4e45-a2c3-bb44f9aec7d2_popular4-1 '“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.' #landback #landlord #Georgist #Georgism #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.
#Housing 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.
"Men did not make the earth. It is the value of the improvements only, and not the earth itself, that is individual property. Every proprietor owes to the community a ground rent for the land which he holds." — Thomas Paine, "Agrarian Justice" (1797) #WeMustMakeLandCommonProperty #LVT #UBI #Georgism

With the #digitaleconomy harvesting our collective #data (and now creative output via #AI), and the #spaceeconomy set to explode - perhaps it's time to re-examine concepts like #georgism in light of a broader understanding of what might constitute the #commons. 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 #inequality.
