lars's article is what made it fully click for me on how important this topic is, so I'm going to mostly leave it to him here, but I just want to stress one thing. One thing the Bitcoin issue has shown me is just how pivotal that 'number go up' is to society. When 'number go up', that thing gets bought in, which brings more people to it. I think many look at the LVT like medicine, yes, this thing is good and important, but it tastes bad, so we can't get the collective buy-in, and never will. But we all know what's going to happen to Bitcoin, it's a bubble, and it will crash, crash hard. But so is the real estate market. Real estate has gone up as interest rates have come down. With our interest rates at 0%, there is now no more room for the interest rates to go down, and thus real estate market to go up. We've reached the end, as we come out of CO-VID they might go up another 10% or so, but the easy money is gone - but the downside is now massive. If rates go back to 5% we will see real estate prices go back to where they were at when interest rates were last at 5%. Investors have a huge risk disparity. And this is where the Land Value Tax can help. If we can implement the Land Value Tax, and at the same time implement a one-time tax credit equal to the price of the land, not only will no one lose out, but those that have the most at risk will now de-risk, and have the most to gain. All in the meantime instantly incentivizing the correct behavior.
