Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to really dig into an apparent problem and understand it thoroughly before attempting to solve it by changing the rules that other people have to follow with their stuff.
Yes, implementation details matter too, but the principle of taxing things that we don't want is actually a good one.
Agreed. Some things are easy: vacant land in a PARTS zone (near a station) clearly shouldn't be discounted. An empty building that cannot be rented? Should be the same as one that is rented.
Other cases can admittedly be more complicated.
