Land value tax (and Georgism) seems favored here on HN.

This discussion covers the basics, reform efforts in Spokane WA, and what led Spokane to this point. Very meaty discussion.

TIL: LVT shifts tax burden from home owners to land speculators, encourages development and renovations, will be revenue neutral, and compliments other urbanism reforms. Plus a lot more.
