The NYT on a Georgism (or Geoism) proposal in Detroit: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/12/business/georgism-land-tax-housing.html?unlocked_article_code=1.90w.2d9n.Jzc050i-Hhei&smid=url-share

I came to this via thinking that it was absurd that people can profit off buying and selling land, and someone pointing me at Georgism, which was that, but so much more.

@alpha on my block there’s a building that hasn’t been occupied since Seattle City Light switched to smart meters, it still reads 0. There’s also a parking lot with exactly one car in it and it’s always locked shut. I have Georgist sympathies
