How does that work out, wasn’t the point of Georgian land value tax to reduce land value?
- heavyset_go 6y agoYeah, that seems like opposite of Georgism. You don't have to look very far to find examples of land being worth much more than what's built on it, that's the case in much of the US.
- j8014 6y agoI would disagree and say that most land is cheap in the US.
- heavyset_go 6y agoI'm not saying that it's the case for most land, I'm just saying that the land that people live and work it's not uncommon. Over 80% of Americans live in urban areas.
