The same issue comes up, it just changes the terminology: land ownership --> right to use the land, and land ownership tax --> land use tax.
Right- when you can no longer afford the waterfront rents, your house gets picked up and moved to someplace whose rents you can afford.
(What I dislike about the idea is that modularity really only works for small dwellings- are you going to pick up and move an office tower?- and given the huge advantage that apartment buildings have, suggests to me that it may not be that much of an improvement.)
Build a frame, move modules in and out of the frame (this was in the OP).
Ah, so it was. It seems like it only works for thin buildings, but I get the impression that many places already have it in the building code that every apartment has to have an exterior window, so that wouldn’t reflect too much of a change.
