UPZONING ALONE WON'T FIX THE HOUSING CRISIS; WE NEED TO HAVE A LAND VALUE TAX BECAUSE UPZONING GENERATES WINDFALL GAINS FOR LAND BANKERS. LVT WILL CAPTURE THIS VALUE FOR EVERYONE'S BENEFIT, ENSURES THAT UPZONING BOOSTS SUPPLY, AND INCENTIVIZES EFFICIENT MUNICIPAL GOVERNANCE.

All taxes are paid by the consumer. Corporate taxes. Income taxes. Property taxes. VATs. Tariffs. They're all rolled into the final price of the product. It's one thing to say that tariffs are preferable to another tax. It is foolish to say that Americans don't pay for it.

I like Sam, and I'm a LVT+YIMBY guy, but an LVT would work wonders in absence of YIMBY reforms. When valuable land is being hoarded, LVT unhoards the value, and until YIMBY reforms come in, would fund a citizens' dividend that is basically a "displacement reimbursement."

One of the most insufferable points that people make against LVT is that "we already have one and it hasn't made a difference," and the LVT they're arguing against is a measly 1.5%, which taxes less than a quarter of the land rent when LVTers want to tax land rent at 90%-95%.

So then Ken said that a land value tax can be passed on because higher costs would shift the demand curve, but the demand curve doesn't shift because of costs, only the supply curve can shift due to costs, but the supply curve for land is fixed, so LVT can only decrease price.

Economic rent is one of those terms that is hard for the general public to wrap their heads around (and confuse with the more colloquial use of rent), but "profit without contribution" or "money for producing nothing" is a good way of characterizing the term in layman's terms.

@benjit14 @edwardhadas @jryancollins @BenChu_ @NEF High land values = good. High land prices = bad. Failure to collect land values via a land value tax is what drives inequality.

@mattyglesias Republicans could, you know, change their policies to compete for those new voters, but apparently that's out of the question.

The market price of a piece of land reflects the rental value that it could currently generate if it was being put to its highest and best use. Land tax will place a financial cost on people who leave some of their capacity unused. Land tax is the best form of vacancy tax.

Near-meaningless rent control is also a rebuke to tenants, who reasonably want & will keep asking for it to actually slow rent growth. I wish rent caps werenοΏ½οΏ½t a dead end, but they are. Either so loose they help almost nobody, or tight enough to hurt almost everybody.

How to make #LVT politically popular: any property subject to a mortgage has its tax liability charged to the bank holding the mortgage.

An aging society needs higher taxes (sorry) but that means we need to address the simplicity and efficiency of the tax code more seriously. Here are some ideas.

What's frustrating is that having landowners pay more in tax because public investments make land values go up is seen as an arbitrary way to tax people, but if a person rents, they pay more in rent due to the same cause, but that is seen as a natural market response.

Of the $270B increase in BC property values over the last decade, 85% ($230B) came from increasing land values that society created. Less than 1/5 of that is attributed to new construction. If we want to solve the housing crisis, the answer lies here -- the greatest transfer of

We can't tax land because old people don't want to sell their home and want to live in it until they die. We also can't tax land because old people will want to sell their home and live somewhere else until they die. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

A Georgist hot take I have is that for a heavy land value tax to be passed, it must be done at the state level and it must abolish at least one of the major income/sales taxes (if not both), along with the tax on buildings. If not, the LVT will be branded as an extra tax.
