If you want to go property rights absolutism that’s fine, as long as on my land I can build a five story condo building. I think the provocative thing about Georgism in the present context is, while NIMBYs have gotten a lot of mileage out of a theory of community interest in keeping uses low-intensity that supersedes the rights of owners, we can actually articulate the same kind of community interest in making those uses intense and productive. A vacant lot is anathema to a vibrant block in the same way that an industrial plant is anathema to a residential neighborhood. It would be fine from my perspective if those two simply cancelled out and we reverted to more individual autonomy.
