Thanks - now completely off topic:

The site points to a weakness of the scheme.  It says "A new public 
works project may make adjacent land go up considerably in value. With a 
tax on land values, the tax on adjacent land goes up. The new public 
improvements are paid for by those most benefited by the new public 
improvements.".  Certainly the neighbouring properties go up in value, 
but that value is only realized when the property is sold.  Do the 
higher taxes get deferred until sale time?
