Are there any Georgists who post on Atlas? If not, I can try to get up to speed on the literature so I can crow on about LVT while liberal YIMBYs and leftist PHIMBYs do their thing in threads like these

I'm pretty sympathetic to Georgism. John Dule has inadvertently made a good case for LVT in this thread:

We're currently fixing up a house in San Francisco that we own, but at this point it might be worth more to us if we keep it off the market (as we've done for the past five years). If we try to rent it, we'll either end up with section 8 getting forced on us or we'll spend years trying to find trustworthy people to live there who won't immediately stiff us on rent and force us through a years-long eviction process. At least by keeping the unit empty, we'll be able to maintain it at its current market value rather than have sixteen poor people move in and immediately turn it into a dump
