That does not achieve the goal I had in mind.

It keeps rent at the monopoly price and increases the cost to people who own and occupy land themselves.



Should land not be priced correctly? The problem we have now is people laying claim to value they did not produce.

This "money for nothing" situation increases demand for land a, exacerbating the supply issue.

Land value tax would force better land use, and more efficiency means more for those in need.


Land should be priced correctly in an environment that heavily penalizes lease revenue.


so...land value tax! :-)


No, the key is the bias against investors vs. occupants. Land value tax does not accomplish this.
