If you make the bar too low, then it will be widely exploited. Also harder to enforce, e.g. how closely are you going to monitor them? The more people, the more onerous. Also, can you un-Citizen someone if they break the deal? Too high and

Often the market isn't for land, but for land + property. It might help, but overall there is more room for subjectivity/untethered valuations.
