The proposition emphasizes starting at the county level—which in the U.S. is feasible given roughly 3,100 counties. Each county becomes an independent experimental lab where diverse ownership models, property income streams, and policies can be tested.
Granularity is essential: localized data reveals microclimates and unique assets—such as access to waterways, sunlight, forests—that can be monetized.
County-level experiments support AB testing of interventions like land trusts, ESOP tax credits, and property-based dividends, with results feeding up to higher levels of governance.
