There’s already significant land taxes. Why do you think even higher taxes will help? How do you propose finding a fair value?

  > There’s already significant land taxes Real property taxes as structured anywhere in the US are not LVTs, and in much of the US (California perhaps most notably) are not significant, either.

    1% per year is not significant?? I hope you mean to lower other taxes too in this fantasy...

  Most of my property tax is on the structures, not the land. That means that undeveloped and underdeveloped land gets less taxation than land that, say, has apartments on it. It's the opposite of the way it should be -- taxes should penalize parking lots and incentivize housing.
