Interesting thread. To me the open question is what to do with Georgism today given its (to me, contingent) origin in laissez-faire land use controls. In modern America, where LU regulation is intense in magnitude and layered in source, how to arrive at a "true" valuation as a tax basis?

It's true that municipal assessment bodies already do an imperfect job of assessing value. But that's in a world where their assessments are based on currently existing law. Hard to imagine them building in the possibility of a regime change that would be necessary for a land value tax to work.
