Under LVT there are huge inventive to keeping your land value low. Densifying causes land values to increase so rational actors who dont want to move will oppose density.


If the value of their land is low, you can buy them out for cheap and change the local regulation.


Only if you can force them to sell.

The world is full of land that is held by sellers who won’t sell it “for what it’s worth” - for any number of reasons.

Heck, moving hassle alone means you’d need to hit me with a 50% premium to get me to sell my house, because I don’t want to move right now.


You can not control the value of your land.


Of course you can. You can put all sorts of deed restrictions on it, foster some sort of habitat for protected animals,turn it into a wetland (protected), etc.


You can by being a nimby.
