Genuinely curious, I thought the purpose of LVT was to split the current valuation into land and improvements and move most of it to the land. It is not intended to increase taxes on land that is already being used effectively. I think the bigger issue with LVT is figuring out what the right values are for taxing land vs improvements. As a first pass, I would aim to keep taxes the same just split it more like 80 (land) and 20 (improvements). This at least forces undeveloped property to be turned into a money making project very quickly.
