Discussion AI - Capital, Labor, and Land

If AI truly replaces human labor and therefore AI is able to create productive capital — then the only factor of production that matters is land, right?
In such a scenario — land (finite resources) would be the only factor of production to tax. No?

How easily can we convert former gas stations into housing and commercial use?
7
Upvotes
As the US slowly but steadily starts embracing EVs, one thing I was thinking was what would happen to all of the gas stations built over the years that are becoming obsolete. Unlike gas stations, EV chargers can be installed pretty much wherever you want, so there's no need to have dedicated land solely for charging. There are plenty of cases of former gas stations being repurposed into housing or businesses. Here is an example here in Los Angeles.
However, the problem with much of the land that gas stations sit on is they have become contaminated over the years. I know there are government grants to fund the cleanup of these former sites called the EPA Brownfields Grant, but how much is it really? Can we legally force gas station companies to clean up the land before closing? While some gas stations are out in middle of nowhere, there are many in large cities like Los Angeles that are located in plots that are prime real-estate, and are perfect for redevelopment. However they often sit empty for years due to the cost of cleaning.....
Just how much would it cost for a cleanup of all the sites for future redevelopment?

If LRVT makes housing more affordable a subsidy will just make housing less affordable in California.

I meme about this, but Twain and George actually interacted with each other and Twain might've been supportive of Georgist ideas; especially since Georgist ideas were booming in popularity from the publishing of P&P to the end of Twain's lifetime.

I noticed that some people use this flair, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to be different from socialism given land would already be owned by the state under such a system.

Taxing finance?

In my mind, income derived from financial chicanery does not produce real economic productivity for the majority of the working population - why are we not talking about taxing this economic industry (which has ballooned since the 90's) to incentivize real economic activity?

Why do people say land prices would be zero at 100% LVT?
10
Upvotes
A 100% land value would basically mean that you are renting land from the government. People rent land all the time with and without improvements and the rent price isn't zero. All a 100% LVT rent means is that you can't profit from land appreciation. There is in most cases still some demand to for land for just using it.
Would the purchase price of the land be zero in a 100% society? Basically yes, but that doesn't mean that someone wouldn't pay to use the land.
(Just for the record, a 100% LVT society is a Georgist theoretical reference and thought experiment. In our wildest dreams we would stop at 85-90% or so to avoid the risk of over-assessment and perhaps to preserve some reference prices for land purchases.)
