Do you suppose the owner of the land wants to build on it, but is being blocked by socialists in the government? Do you think this developer bought some lots in SF and left them empty just to make tech bros upset?

In a Georgist system, they would throw up their hands and immediately sell. But the developer isn't selling it because the land is appreciating...
