Wouldn’t the rent be too prohibitively expensive at some point, and the landlord will be forced to shift their strategy for recouping the money lost from LVT from lowering rent, to redeveloping it to be a more effective money maker? Such as by building more units and increasing urban densification.



Now what if redevelopment is not possible? Maybe regulation stops it? Actually, if net value of land is negative what will happen to it? That is taxes are more than value and there is no legal way to extract more value...


> Actually, if net value of land is negative what will happen to it?

You would be describing parts of Detroit wherein land is abandoned and the city limits shrink as the cost of providing services increases.
