The report argues that taxing land rental value benefits landowners, not residents, and that freeing land from taxes would raise rents and push workers to tighter quarters. It cites studies of land value growth in Washington and discusses how population and community growth create land value, while improvements are less tied to land value. A schoolmaster and Jim dialogue explores wealth distribution tied to land versus labor and the implications for Henry George theories.
