Re:Is there a housing shortage or not? by TimPC on Thursday May 12, 2022 @08:27AM (#31353005)
Georgism lowers the cost of achieving density and removes subsidies paid from cities to suburbs and rural areas from the tax system. In exchange for that, some variations of the system which offer a citizen’s dividend make it possible to subsist on rural land due to its low tax value. Doing so results in significant wage losses for the vast majority of the populace so it’s unclear how popular such a strategy would be.
