Some states of Germany are currently introducing it. I don’t see any land owners revolting about long term implications. Many bitch about the transition because reevaluating land is some paper work.

Everybody seems to believe that it will not make much of a difference. I assume it depends on the municipalities to raise it in the future.




What new tax is that? Or do you mean the changes to the Grundsteuer (which is more like an update to the value that is being taxed, I think, and it was a forced change).


Baden-Württemberg does it right. The other states not (yet).

This seems to be the German Georgists: https://www.grundsteuerreform.net/


A lot of the costs for the state, city etc. are billed separately in a lot of places.

Also, given the demographic projections, land will not be a limiting factor in the long-term anyway.


When is the last time (a subset of) Germans revolted about anything though?


1989 was a major one that a lot of people have heard of


A few months ago there were big demos against AfD and also farmers against some subsidy cuts.
