Open-Source Tool LVTShift: Model Your City's Land Value Tax

This blog post details using the open-source tool LVTShift to model the impacts of a land value tax (LVT). The author showcases analyses of South Bend and Syracuse, demonstrating how LVTShift simulates various LVT policies (revenue-neutral, different tax burden shifts, etc.) and their effects on city residents and economies. The post thoroughly explains data acquisition, processing, model building, and analysis, including code examples and data sources. Readers are encouraged to model their city's LVT using LVTShift and share their results.
