That's what Georgism is about: fully separating those two concepts. The land is valuable because of the community; the property is valuable because of its owner. So under Georgism, all land is held under common ownership, with the land's value being entirely taxed away from its occupier, allowing you to profit personally only by improving the property and supplying value to others thereby.
- throwaway316943 6y agoNo thanks.
- Smaug123 6y agoA shot in the dark here, but I assume you own land? ;)
- throwaway316943 6y agoI do and I also respect others property rights. Communal ownership and responsibility should only cover those things for which there are no other options, even then they are hard enough to deal with.
- Smaug123 6y agoUnder Georgism, you have the right to all the property you want. It just classes land as (I think?) the only thing which is "not property".
