Idea:
#tax land and only land

Never heard about #georgism before, though I've heard similar ideas I liked.

• pay tax on empty flats
• sell land only for limited time (hongkong)
• make state income by having people rent fixed non-consumable limited resources from the state
• continuously pay when public resources (e.g. land) are allocated to you (not sure where i picked this up, guess it's pretty much the same as georgism)

Just discovered #Georgism. I personally believe land ownership to be inexcusibly anthropocentric, colonial, and racist, but in a world with ubiquitous land ownership, Georgism looks okay at first glance.
