> Land value taxes don't destroy natural land. They'd probably preserve it. Consider a farm on the edge of town. Without LVT, the incentive to sell could be considered positive; i.e. the farmer may sell when they're offered sufficient money for it. With LVT, the incentive to sell could be considered negative; they will be charged more and more in taxes from the state as the town develops up to the boundary of the farm until they can no longer afford _not_ to sell. That means that there is a built in sprawl function to LVT - towns will continue eating up the countryside as their centers push value of land up around them.
