Development of surrounding land increases land value yes, but the idea is that since the landowner didn’t do that development themselves, they shouldn’t be able to profit from it through increased value of their own land. “Land value” is kind of an amorphous though, another way to think about it is that we want to incentivize the most economically optimal use of land in high demand areas, thus we should tax all land proportional to demand (measured via price) to encourage those landowners who have undeveloped or under-utilized land relative to demand to use it.

(note this is counter-intuitively pro-environmental because it applies most to land with high demand, e.g. cities, not forest or farmland, and if cities can be successfully densified to satisfy housing demand, pressure to sprawl can be reduced, increasing those lands left to nature)

We need a land value tax to stop real estate speculation.

LAND VALUE TAX

Harmful tech such as inefficient forms of taxation like sales, income, and capital tax that reduce prosperity or exacerbate inequality (land value taxes are better)

a land value tax would fix this

hello yes liberal here. netanyahu sucks, georgism rules, and the state should ideally be replaced with some kind of peer-to-peer distributed coordination system.

baaaaaaa

pretty sure it is xD

land value taxes are even better, although wealth taxes are good too

Afaict there is no definitive proof or conviction of SA. All evidence available comes from Pieke and exurb1a doesn’t seem to want to publicly engage with the accusations. Here is a third perspective that covers the most relevant pieces of evidence. It looks bad for exurb1a and the evidence to me seems to show some level of manipulation and drug-related bad behavior on his part, but as always, for any severe accusation, it is good to trust victims, but one should also withhold definitive judgement on the accused until proven guilty (either by undeniable evidence or legal proceeding).

Holy Satan!
