I’m down for eliminating private land ownership. It behooves us all to treat it as the commons and create proper, sustainable management of our natural resources.

To be clear, an LVT only eliminates the financial portion of private ownership. The holder of the deed still gets exclusive decision-making authority over how the land gets used as long as they are paying the tax. If you want to conserve natural resources you'd have to add additional market corrections, e.g. a payment to NOT cut down a tree.
