If land is held disproportionately, the free market cannot be relied upon to ease the suffering of those without land. Ownership of land should be (is) contingent on the Lockean proviso that we have left enough for others.
If the prevailing property allocations are to continue unthreatened (in the absence of a revolution) then it would be helpful to make them more equitable by imposing a property tax, with a high personal allowance. This restrains unfair property acquisition.
