Land value tax is having a moment. Virginia, Colorado, Minnesota, New York, Detroit, Baltimore, Spokane, Seattle — all actively exploring it. This doesn't need federal action. Cities can move today.

Split-rate taxation cut homeowner taxes by a third in Millbourne, PA and turned a vacant lot into a tax-paying business. 20 PA municipalities have used it over 100 years. The track record is real.

People love to complain about property taxes. But what if a split-rate property tax could improve housing costs and urban land use—making vacant lots expensive to hold and cheaper to build on? It's worked in Pennsylvania for a century.

Property Taxes Aren’t the Cause of Our Housing Crisis, They’re a Solution to It — Shelterforce Taxing land and buildings at different rates can discourage land speculation and encourage housing development.

THE CANADIAN URBAN CONDITION Promise, Crisis, and the Future of the Canadian City

This isn’t fate. It’s policy: federal retreat, exclusionary zoning, financialization, and costs shifted onto cities least able to pay.

Why can't cities just build more?

Homeowners vote at higher rates and dominate local politics. Restricting supply protects their asset values. They show up; renters don't. The asymmetry is structural, not accidental.

But the wealth generated by urban density doesn't have to flow broadly. Under the wrong conditions it gets captured almost entirely by landowners — who did nothing to create it.

Henry George diagnosed this in 1879. The diagnosis still stands.

Based on the local data, I think my elevator pitch for a #LandValueTax is gonna be like this, more or less...

Under the current system, most of us pay a little bit too much property tax, to subsidize vacant buildings and empty lots that pay far too little.

The system hasn't totally […]

I'm back on the grind for a #LandValueTax

I made a little spreadsheet listing samples that people would want to hear about - My lower-middle class neighborhood, a poor Black-majority neighborhood, a couple businesses downtown, and my favorite vacant buildings and car […]

Time for #LVT #LandValueTax to replace highly regressive #CouncilTax and #BusinessRates.

@greenpartymolly.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social @lvtyimby.bsky.social

A #LandValueTax or split-rate property tax would also help! We'll bring it to the #Illinois General Assembly sooner or later.

pia309.com's opinion is that a city built for walkability and public transit would be safer, friendlier, and cheaper for everyone. Cars are expensive in terms of gasoline, maintenance, roadwork, insurance, and safety. We ultimately need a #LandValueTax, but that will take a while.

Land Value Tax v my plan for a workable Property Tax: a progressive plan for change A few days ago, I published a friend’s plan for a Land Value Tax to replace the outdated property tax that is used to support local government services - and it has sparked debate.

Land Value Tax is the best tax Britain never adopts. But what if there’s a political on-ramp? A progressive property tax could lead us there.

Could this land value tax proposal actually work? It’s curious, how the ‘limbo’ period between Christmas and the New Year affects us.

Could a Land Value Tax actually work in the UK? Economists say yes. Landowners say nothing. Here’s why it makes sense — and why it scares those in power.

Glossary entry: land value taxation I was asked in a comment on this blog last night why I did not emphasise land value taxation as a wealth tax. In fairness, the question could have been asked: why do I not place much emphasis on this ...

"A Land Value Tax charges a levy on the unimproved value of land, excluding buildings and other improvements. The theoretical case is attractive..." #LandValueTax #LVT

Kenya faces extreme land inequality. Could land value tax help curb hoarding?

Why we need a #LandValueTax
- taxing land does not reduce its supply
- captures value increases (unearned wealth)
- supply of land is fixed and immobile
- progressive AND economically efficient
- discourages #landBanking
- rates adjust to reflect value to society
- promotes affordable housing

#budget2025 I’m sure it won’t happen but I want #reeves to announce a serious consultation on replacing #stampDuty, #businessRates and a large part of #councilTax with a #LandValueTax.
