Hong Kong at least happened much because of Georgist taxation of land rents. When people can commute ten more miles and divide the cost of living there by a factor of ten, they will. So don&#x27;t hold your breath on &quot;getting rid of cars&quot; any time soon without some incentive for capturing land rents. For now, we use cars for that.<p>And it&#x27;s interesting that we still talk about &quot;shops &amp; restaurants&quot;. Other than craft&#x2F;fine dining, those can eventually be highly virtualized in terms of logistics and depend much less on place.
