Right, because selling it is a better revenue opportunity. Under the tax scheme described, the reverse is true.

Explain how.. In a dense urban area, with LVT, that lot that held a park will bring even larger tax revenue when the city sells it off to a developer. Having the tax be based on maximum potential usage will only increase the temptation to sell it off and remove yet another park from the people.
