When I was younger, I didn&#x27;t understand the appeal of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Georgism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Georgism</a> &#x27;s <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Land_value_tax" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Land_value_tax</a> ; proponents came off as cranks. But the more I learn about California and the Bay Area and watch the rents (in both senses of the word) rise, the more I think there may be something to it.
