Taxing improvements is a proxy for progressive taxation. ie. rich should pay more. LVT is effectively a flat tax on acreage normalized by community wealth. To the broad middle class, taxing improvements "feels" more fair.

Then why not do it properly? Only levy extra taxes if the value of any building constructed on the property exceeds a certain threshold...
