Some sincere feedback: LVT sounds a cooky concept that might solve inherited / ossified land ownership problem in the UK, but it seems to have little relevance to the USA. Land is plentiful here.

LVT might also reward families with liquid assets, while burdening lower-income families whose main asset is their house.

It has huge relevance in the USA. George was American.
