As a georgist I think this idea is very flawed.

(not building housing can increase existing house prices... but is not necessarily a good move)

Why? Georists support taxation of land rents, also in the expetation that good governance leads to higher (ground) rents (and thus higher government revenues).

Edit: If anything, the Landsburg policy is just a tepid approximation of Georgist finance.

House prices and land prices are quite separate things.

NIMBY policies increase house value, but decrease land value.
