I’d guess 99.8% of macOS users are using the “case preserving, case ignore on search” default file system. And probably nothing else gets tested. I’d expect anything Unix/Linux to expect to use consistent case, but anything from Windows probably expects “case doesn’t matter”.

FWIW, I thought “case ignored” would bug me (after 20+ years of Unix/Linux first). But TBH in the last dozen years there’ve only been a couple of “that’s really inconvenient” / “that’s really confusing” situations.

That’s be less problematic if they’d chosen a “less likely to clash” name than “packages”. (Ie not one my client used as “the obvious one” for the list of packages to install on the host.)

There’s already a land tax: city and regional councils are funded by land tax (rates). It’s not even that small: for me rates is around 20% of my annual income tax, and maybe half of GST paid on purchases.

(Tenants in effect also pay rates/land tax, as part of the rent.)

Wed Feb 09 08:53:43 +0000 2022 (#)

Replying to @slyall

With the present housing market it’s over 50% land value anyway.

And any land owners renting out property will pass through to tenants, like rates are now. So I’d expect it to behave basically the same.

(Land owners of untenanted land might pay more; but also pay N * rates.)

I do agree one could make it cost neutral to low income people, through Income tax/benefit offsets (as was done when GST was introduced).

FWIW my guess is a land tax would most impact middle income “own home” buyers, who can’t pass on cost and might not be left tax cost neutral.

Encouraging efficient use of a limited resource (land) is definitely useful. It’d possibly also encourage rows of townhouses over, eg large backyards.

But “those with property” most affected might be first home buyers mortgaged to their teeth. Which may or may not be the goal.
