Sorry, what’s the fix? Undeveloped land tax?

FFXIV just added a lottery and zoning rules, which IMO are the most boring ways to fix it.

Arguably it came with the expected trade-offs zoning laws have in real-life, in that zones intended for their equivalent of guilds are often empty/dead now since there are not that many active guilds, and "legacy" wards that still have personal housing and guild housing intertwined are a lot more active and diverse.

Land value tax, property tax which excludes the building. Forces speculators to pay society equal to the value theyre wasting
Land value tax.
Best solution, must be applied to domains and patents, increasing tax as time passes.
