This feels useful for when I advocate land value tax and someone asks me about farmers. I usually say "well this can be implemented at the local level and farming communities don't have to do it if they don't want to", at least about the US.
But I'm also thinking "this matters much more in urban areas where the land value is concentrated". And now I can just show people a picture.
Yes this is the whole point. Like who cares about the agricultural land — it’s the urban land that’s important. Let the cities opt in, the farmers will be fine.
