Land Value Tax says you tax land at a (high) flat rate per area regardless of value to encourage density. That is entirely different from higher property taxes

Land Value Tax says you tax land at a (high) flat rate per area regardless of value to encourage density. That is entirely different from higher property taxes on landlords (which would not lower rents but might lower property values). I agree that LVT would make a huge improvement if it was set high enough though. But it will never happen when you have homeowners leveraged up 20x on govt subsidized mortgages who vote for themselves.
