It's not realistic to beep fighting the ocean. The earth is mostly void of people. The effort to make a new city, especially one planned to be resource efficient will be much cheaper to move people.

You're missing the forest for the trees. There are plenty of ways to encourage actions without coupling them to taxes. Make the tax code simple, and put the complexity in the systems that deal with people.
