It sounds like you disagree with Georgism. Personally, it makes a lot of sense to me, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind elaborating on your complaint.

Can you elaborate more? Do you mean that people are seduce by a land value tax because it's non-distortionary and fail to consider other downsides? Or do you disagree on other principles?
