Land value tax is interesting because it encourages/forces more efficient use but you can do a lot more by cutting demand through limiting immigration and financialization opportunities.

I'm not sure why people don't immediately get serfdom vibes whenever they mention a land tax.

It’s the same reason people don’t get serfdom vibes when a government proposes to take over childcare.

Governments buying goods for people with tax money turns them into dependents, sometimes permanently. It’s easy to overlook that.

Probably because most of us are already unlanded serfs, except we also get vibes now. Yay, 1000 years of progress!
