Dear All,

We are always undervaluing the LVT.....and its importance to improve and societal needs. If a vacant land owner improves his land and generates productivity he gets its capital investment back. The operation cost will be paid by the dwellers. If set properly, in the LVT system the improvement on the land does not require taking loans and paying back over 20 years. If the improvements are good it pays back the capital investment right away.

Michael Hudson has written about phasing out capital gains exemptions for land ...that would be a nationwide approach
