Britain = UK in most definitions. Great Britain is different.

The valuation problem feels a bigger problem to me than problems with complexity of income tax or VAT, and certainly a bigger problem than property tax which it's typically promoted as a replacement to. Property tax is always simpler than land value tax.

If that were the proposal I would consider it seriously. In every UK discussion I've seen LVT is about replacing property tax. I listed quite a few such studies/papers/proposals in my piece.

Not "surely yes" to me. I'm convinced a LVT is worse than a Property Tax because in the regression you describe it removes the decision further from the people and thus weakens its accessibility to democracy. I value accessible local democracy very highly in my consideration.

Oh no. Disqus is not doing great recently. I had to start paying them to stop the porn ads, because I use it on some work sites. But generally has been getting worse. I'm not writing my own comment engine. Obviously. Too old for that.

I am a loyal supporter of the Map Men, but not a collaborator so this is pure coincidence. It is a good province.

Also includes a graph, for I am known for such things, on how Almere, the Netherlands' most successful new city has overtaken Lelystad, the Netherlands' most mocked new city in population since they were built on land reclaimed from the sea.

Includes a map I drew (actually traced) by hand (well in Inkscape) and styled myself (actually got Luke to help me). But it's a good map. I tried to get ChatGPT to draw it for me, but it was rubbish. So I did it with humans.

By default, the tool includes a dozen example networks to give an idea of how it works.

Take a look at for example:

France railmapper.net/project/fran...
US northeast railmapper.net/project/nort...
Indonesia railmapper.net/project/indo...
India railmapper.net/project/indi...

But this morning, on the two carriage train from Burley Park to Leeds, at 08:55, it was fucking rammed.

I'm in Holland. 👍
