Community land auctions can mobilise the cake-cutting principle for fair rent extraction.

Evidence

The key to the rent charging system in the commercial zone is a Permanent Auction Subletting Scheme (PASS), a mechanism designed to ensure that communities can extract maximum rents from their commercial zones with which to invest in their social zones. PASS works a little like the famous trick for fairly distributing a cake between two people: one person cuts, the other chooses. — Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism, 742
