Land speculation causes serious economic damage (like the high cost of
housing in places like Washington DC or SF). There is a theory of
"rents" in economics which deals with these kind of situations.

Many people *do* feel that it is immoral to make money without producing
anything (this is the view of traditional Catholic social theory,
for example). 

To be fair, I have heard it argued that land speculation actually
produces
a "good"; namely, information about the market.
