I’m not saying it’s necessarily a bad way to run a city specifically, I’m just pointing out the different compromises that are made in regards to property rights with these different forms of taxation.
I would really only object to property taxes (as a concept) in situations where intensified high density infrastructure doesn’t exist (or isn’t required to exist).
A house in a city has lots of resources deployed there and land value tax pays for those things.
This tax makes better for people who invest locally and hurts people who don't.
