What was the biggest roadblock you found to LVT?

The enormous political difficulty in confiscating land assets from the most powerful members of society, banking and large estates. And the most powerful group of all - homeowners - who make up the largest of this class of resistance. The general public believe ideologically that ‘an Englishman’s home is his castle’. Owners of real estate truly believe these assets to be fairly owned and earned 'wealth' or private property, by right.
