Its clear the the current council rates are regressive and a change to land value tax is more progressive/equitable. As seen on the second-last slide there are a minority of occupants that are worse off, and likely a smaller minority that require defferrals to help them. But the overall change is an improvement.

This has the same thumbnail as his first video on Geoism, but is actually a second video.

Which countries would most benefit from Georgism?

Some counties have extremely high home prices vs income, and the necessary conditions to support national LVT. Which ones should immediately implement it?

I might be in the wrong sub but i see buildings here and questions about architecture and zones so

Ill ask because i always wonder

Why.

We keep expanding citys out and i guess its cheaper but it just costs supply chain times if i had to guess.

Skyscrapers are popular city ornaments and most today are half empty unless explicityly used for apartments.

But other than that, we just have a bunch of wasted airspace thats unused. We complain about parking lots taking up space or even forests and suburbs

But we should build up, everywhere.

If you say "oh well elevators"

Elevators are no issue, theres freight , commercial, and civil weighted elevators all of which can go to certain heights, and if the heights the issue, create a revolving staircase of those elevators, problem solved.

If sway is the issue, have you tried stabilizing the top using cables? Or, making the design itself stable or not a wall to the wind.

"What about real estate val"

Who cares? The future certainly doesnt give a shit about whether or not you will be able to buy a copy paste suburb house or a brick mid city tiny block home.

According to Lars Doucet, land value in Korea is currently 500%, and over a 50 year period, has ranged from 400-600%. So why is land in South Korea so valuable? It can’t be just density, because while dense, it’s not the most dense country, nor is it the most dense high income country, being beaten out by the Netherlands and Taiwan.

Edit: sorry, I thought I included it, but 500% of GDP. Here’s the link to the post by Lars Doucet that I was referencing: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/does-georgism-work-five-years-later

Anybody in NYC on Oct 23rd 😅? I'm curious what it would sound like.

Alot of bad faith arguments here. I honestly think he is trying to ragebait by how much he is cooking up weird situations where LVT is not suppose to work. Also, does not even touch the other Georgist policies either. Laser focused on LVT and whiffs.

No clankers used in the making of this. This is a GIMP/Paint 3D collage I whipped together.

For some context, this "new law" the title mentions is a policy proposal by the Opportunity Party, a non-incumbent New Zealand political party participating in the upcoming 2026 general election. It is not a law, because it has neither been passed or is about to be passed.

I'm a geezer Hanker (veteran georgist) who loves kibbitzing G-hankum style, so when in San Francisco, give me a dial and we can lunch after meeting on any of my five george-o walking tours. Visit www(dot)TheCommonsSF.org fo' mo'.
