It would be good to know how much land people own

We could use our land resources in a more efficient manner by imposing a Land Value Ceiling on each individual.

If all the land is privately owned, there is no way in which someone can acquire land of their own. To make land cheaper and more accessible, it would be efficient to impose a disincentive against hoarding and owning too great a quantity of land. In nature there is a physical risk in claiming too great a territory, without an equivalent analogue (in law) there is no way to improve the availability of land. However, if it is public knowledge how much land is owned by each person we would know who is making us more uncomfortable and there would be social reasons not to hoard land.
