I'd argue the solution is even simpler and has been known for decades.

Land value tax.

I agree LVT is at least worth trying. There seems to be something about simple solutions that makes people distrust them.

We are more likely to get a 10000-page micro-managing land use policy with a whole new agency that can never hope to be as efficient as a single flat tax and free market.
