Build a bunch of apartments above the grocery store. Then divide the land tax across all floors. Voila, the grocery store lowered its tax.

If the startup is able to produce a lot of value without taking much land, shouldn't that by encouraged? The employees will all buy houses with their earnings and pay tax on that land. They'll invest their money in other companies that also pay land tax. They'll buy groceries, supporting the store you mentioned. Etc.

The startup's URL is also "land" and should be taxed.
