Jesse Walker has an article in Reason about Arden, Delaware, which began as a Georgist project, and is still semi-Georgist (it collects land rents from the inhabitants to pay land-and-building property taxes, but does not collect the full rental value of the land). The focus of the article isn't on Georgism, but on Arden's history, its artistic tradition, its tolerance of eccentricity, and the general way of life there.

One of my Georgist friends, who lives part-time in Arden, emailed that The article is 90% correct, but if Walker had run it past someone who knows the Ardens (there are also Ardentown and Ardencroft, as well as the original Arden), he could have done better. People may find the article interesting even if they do not share my own Georgist commitment.
