Re: Uniformity of land use
Once you've said that because all of society benefits from improving the economic efficiency of the people at large, yes the little old lady living alone in the family mansion has to move if she can't keep up with the increased taxes. This is the dilemma for anyone advocating for greater economic efficiency without regard to property rights. It's why all the great conservative thinkers proceed from property rights first in determining the proper limits of government. When you replace property rights with some amorphous right of the people at large, anything can happen, and usually does. Yeah, we all focus on the antisemitism and death Hitler caused. But we ignore that he got there by promising greater economic fairness to THE PEOPLE of Germany.
