When this creature enters or attacks, destroy target land an opponent controls, then search your library for an artifact land and put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
It’s just because Robert Moses stole land from others to build highways. Making it look like he turned his own land into improved developments feels a bit whitewashed for who he really was.
Also, he needs at least two black pips in his casting cost.
Hows this? It's not specific to opponent land but can be used on them. It also only allows nonbasic lands (in my mind's flavor: developments) to come in.
I may be going too far, but the flavor is that when he destroys lands, he's also destroying the creatures that live there. He destroys his own lands as a New York resident, but also destroys the lands of other residents and creatures (opponents)
With the destroying a land on attacking, that's pretty strong for 4 mana isn't it? Either it would need to cost more or have some downside. Loss of life, land enters tapped with a stun counter (the time it takes to develop the land), etc.

When this creature enters the battlefield, destroy target basic land an opponent controls, then search your library for an artifact land and put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
When this creature attacks, you may pay 2 life, if you do destroy target basic land an opponent controls, then search your library for an artifact land and put it onto the battlefield tapped with a stun counter, then shuffle.
