Working from home also allows people to move to smaller cities or rural areas, however, as jobs are less of a concern.

We have exactly what you describe (land value tax, vacancy tax) in Vancouver…and still have massive house prices (TBF, not as bad as Toronto, or before those policies were put in place, so those policies have helped increase supply, but still not enough to solve the issue.) Also, governments in Japan and Russia literally give out homes in rural areas for free… and still have massive rural depopulation. TBF, they populations overall are also declining, but still. You need to also make it easier for people to have jobs in remote areas, replacing or reviving the old resource jobs that kept these places afloat.
