I've never seen a concrete or comprehensive description of the Georgist scheme.
Say I own 5 acres of undeveloped forest, valued by the market at $100k. Can I immediately know what my tax bill will be, given the tax rate in my district?
What happens to my tax bill if I cut down the forest and build a factory? Or a grocery store? Does my tax bill remain unchanged?
What if I do nothing with my woods, but the guy owning the adjacent lot opens a supermarket? I'll pay more then, right? How is it calculated?
Is there a Georgist story about incentives to preserve natural ecosystems?
