This timely article by Dr Duncan Pickard of the Scottish Land Revenue Group is the best argument for Land Value Tax that I have seen.

The rates of inflation of the prices of energy and food are always highlighted but increases in the price of housing are seldom mentioned. Forty years ago the share of household incomes spent on food was about 30% and the share spent on housing was 10%. Now these numbers are reversed because of inflation of house prices.
