> 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.

It would decrease land value since the park is no longer there. Tax revenue would decrease as quality of life decreases.
