It's really funny to try to frame land value appreciation as a return on labor.

It's a return on the result of trying to cram too many people into one place, and/or zoning issues that prevent increase of housing supply.

Why would you tax people for those things? They didn't do them.

Why wouldn't you?

Also, you didn't reply to what I wrote, which is that it's funny that you were trying to convince us that land value appreciation is a return to labor. I'm guessing you ditched that because it's obvious how silly it is.
