2. This same plot, but with 3 panels where, in addition to Idea 1, panels 2 is #zoning in SFH lots (R200 maybe?) and 3 is all non-SFH lots.

The objective would be to illustrate the way that SFH lots near transit are unimproved relative to their potential and that #LVT would raise money from the places where the most tax money is spent on expensive infrastructure.

I wonder if there are statistics on the money #MDOT spends on all roads, or how much metro stations cost to operate.

I've downloaded and opened a #QGIS file (Never used QGIS b4) from the #Maryland Dept. of Planning that contains the value of land & the value of improvements for many of the ~300,000 parcels in #MoCo, assessed in the past few years... shame local/state property tax rates per parcel & '24 tax paid not included, (though zoning is!)

What would be interesting analyses to do to examine hypothetical effects of #LVT ?

Scranton proposes 2026 budget without tax increases

Scranton City Council unanimously introduced a proposed $115.5 million city budget for 2026 that would not raise taxes and would end the city’s split property tax rates.

I know "#LVT could solve this" is a twitter meme. It's been interesting to read mostly on #Wikipedia about the history of Land Value Taxes in #pennsylvania , which has split-rate taxation (wherein property is taxed partly based on underlying land value) and especially #altoona , which exclusively used LVT at the city level for a few years before getting rid of it. The county Altoona is incorporated in still uses a conventional property tax, so the different rates confused people. #economics

#LVT ftw

Looking up the original sale value of my house on the county records site revealed to me that the latest appraisal valued the land at around $30,000. That is almost exactly what my back of the napkin calculations for a 100% Land Value Tax would cost!? Which means by working backwards from what Federal, State, County, and City budgets are I determined a reasonably accurate Land Value? Almost identical to what the county appraises it as?

This isn’t hard? We could do this.

@futurebird Discouraging nonproductive land speculation is also said to be one of the benefits of #LandValueTax (#LVT) — and without requiring different treatment of land based on its use or lack of use. I'm not an expert but it sounds like a good idea.
