That requires a somewhat radical shift in the societal perceptions of property rights. When the U.S. Constitution specifically mentions intellectual property rights, I don't think it could ever be construed as a "simple solution" to change that definition.

And as much as I love georgeism in theory, it is in practice very difficult to calculate an accurate land value separate from what is built on that land.
