worse yet, there is a very vocal set of people (many on HN) that want to force you to develop your land in order to build more housing by imposing unaffordable land taxes on undeveloped land - very short sighted.

If you have land in a city then you are wasting it by not developing it, and that harms the city. If you have rural land though there isn't any reason not to grow something for long term.

Yeah, so short-sighted that we now live in the worst housing crisis in history, with rampant homelessness due to lack of housing and people barely being able to afford to live.
