If someone buys my home at its true value but I don't want to move, that's imposing a very significant cost on me.
the "true value" is how much you're willing to forgo in order not to move, by definition!
You're saying a sentimental attachment to, say, a childhood home, is a taxable asset in itself?
no incentive for you to incl that in value since you know it's peculiar to yourself
you're running the risk of someone unwisely overbidding, and it costs you to defend against that chance.
In addition (this is a separate but perhaps stronger argument), you're incentivising people to make property less attractive.
Price it above the value of the lot and commit to burning it down if someone submits a bit?
Burning is legally problematic, but other forms of destruction, sure. I was thinking more "I'm 5'2", make all the doors short"
"I'm colourblind, a brown/purple colour scheme will reduce my tax burden while not impacting my welfare"
