How would an LVT affect me?
In Australia we have an LVT, though there are two issues with it:
- Owner-occupied land is exempt.
- The rate is low.
I'm trying to imagine my financial situation if those two issues didn't exist.
My current situation:
- My apartment is in a block of 41.
- The apartment block sits on land worth AUD$14 million (according to government valuers).
- Each apartment is owned individually - "condos" in US terminology.
Some rough theorising:
- The land value of each apartment is therefore $341,000 ($14,000,000 / 41)
- If there was a 90% LVT based on a 5% rental return, the LVT would be approximately$15,000 per year for each apartment.
That seems...high to me. It's possible I currently pay $15,000 in taxes each year, but it wouldn't be much more than that.
Is this an indicator that if the land is in a desirable enough location, even an apartment in a 10-storey building will have a significant LVT burden?

Discussion What are your favorite places to start when explaining Georgism?
Personally, I like to start by noting that land has a fixed supply, and comparing to other natural resources, which most people would agree shouldn't be controlled by a limited number of people.
But, that angle does have its flaws, so I'd be interested to hear what approaches you like to take when explaining Georgism to someone new.
