Rental prices would not change, it's just that more of the money would go to government instead of the landlord, especially for low density housing.

- TheCoelacanth 4y agoThey probably would decrease somewhat, because there's no longer an incentive for landowners to prevent people from building housing to keep the supply low.
- ryukafalz 4y agoThis is something I’ve been wondering about with LVT. Wouldn’t they still have an incentive to stop people from building more dense housing near them? Even more of an incentive than now, in fact? Because the more people that can live and work in the immediate area near them, the more valuable the land is, and the more they’ll pay in tax.
- invalidOrTaken 4y agoAs the land becomes more valuable, it becomes more valuable to them---better access to services, etc. If it becomes more valuable, but in such a way that they can't leverage it, they can sell it.
