It would be better to prevent excessive land use

We do not have a right to own land, but we do have a right to the use of land, if there is a sufficiency. If we own land in the traditional sense, all that is happening is that we are borrowing the land from the Government (the community) at zero cost. It is not right (correct) that the Government grants this ability to some, to excess, when others have no land.

All land rights come from the Government which loans land to those who own it at zero cost. This is reasonable up to the point where land is granted to excess to a small number of people, in this situation the Government should allocate the land more reasonably. If we allow some to monopolise the land it might be that people will starve. If we do not impose a restriction on land ownership, some people might starve and lose out on the chance to live.

Land inequality stifles harmonious living for the population. It would be better to arrange land use more evenly by denying excessive land rights.
