I think a key point is that taxation discourages certain behaviors. If you're so worried about LVT discouraging one behavior, why aren't you worried about income tax discouraging others? Many people, including myself, believe that the negative effects of taxing primarily income - wage income specifically - are far worse than those of taxing land value. There is no perfect tax system, but that's not really a strong argument against change.
