I run a non-profit that educates and helps implement the classical school of economic rent collection - the land value tax. I'm all over the map otherwise.
A perfect opportunity to advertise this hybrid talk co-hosted by Build Philly Now & Progress and Poverty Institute!
Work by René Livas suggests that replacing Philly's wage tax with a land value tax would bring >=26k jobs from the suburbs into Philly.

A developer tears down a building in the heart of downtown Baltimore and then just sits on the land. Paying minimal tax.
Now it appears he's getting what he wants.
A big tax break.
If ever there was an argument for a land value tax, this is it.
Today at 2:00 PM Central, we have a live webinar with folks from the Center for Land Economics, Progress & Poverty Institute, and candidates for local office on LVT and related issues. We’ll discuss *active legislation* and momentum.

@rmc031 Lest we forget, some cities in Pennsylvania have used it (quietly) for decades now. Studies throughout have demonstrated that new construction and renovation permits increased after the introduction of LVT and with each expansion of LVT.

But with the Land Value Tax plan we can fix it.
And continue to spread beauty to every corner, in and through, Detroit.
