Jumping straight from one tax regimen to another is a recipe for suffering, sure.
Instead, we might imagine a State shifting from 10% income tax to N% land value tax, by lowering the income tax 1% per year, and raising the LVT 1 * (N/10)% per year, until a decade later, the State's income is land value tax, not income tax.
That should give everyone the opportunity to make plans, and adjust over time.
Isn't that the case already? Property taxes are already weighted between land value and property improvements. But shifting to too much land value, even if done gradually, can lead to unwanted consequences.
