@phillmv Right! But then the politics gets really hard. "Everybody gets the same cheque" is a political Schelling point (in English, a natural focus for coordination). It's not perfect, but if the imperfections aren't too massive, people can mostly agree it meets a basic notion of "fair", and it seems "natural" rather than manipulatively contrived. As soon as we start trying to distinguish traditional indigenous communities from cheap-mcmansion-seeking exurbanites, though, that's gone.
