Land isn't too valuable, rather there's very little zoned to allow for trailer parks, which can be very dense and thus a great way to use land that's valuable but not so valuable as to support skyscrapers https://o

I don't know what jurisdiction you're in, but would love a reference. As far as I know in the U.S. there's a long history of talking about specifically taxing ads, but very little and brief doing. One overview: http:/&#

If we didn't dedicate so much land and building space to cars and parking, people wouldn't have to live in cars and parking lots.

Those responsible need to be fired or resign.

Fire the people responsible for making this decision. Or they can resign. This is against Mozilla values in a very different way, but as fundamentally, as what led to Eich leaving. The solution is the same in both cases.

Nope, the article claims sci-hub is "falling to lawsuits", which seems a bogus statement -- to be determined. Article fails to justify its title. Seems they got an interview with one of the Google Scholar founders, tacked on some

I've read Progress and Poverty and much more by still living Georgists (eg Polly Cleveland and Mason Gaffney). I'm pro-LVT. Your response however typifies one reason I'd never call myself a Georgist -- people who call themsel
