We must pay to lease an excess of land

Land is not owned, it is borrowed from our neighbours.

Presently, many people have this service for free because they have a freehold which means they owe nothing for all time. Someone not yet born might object to the arrangement.

We have no obligation to history. It is not permissible to own land, for all time.

The central agency, perhaps the Government should provide no services but it should collect all the rent, as the land is auctioned, and compensate those who do not have enough land of their own. We would each receive a payment which we might choose to spend on land if we wish. There should be no freeholds and no private land ownership, only leases, some of which might be for no charge (free to remain) if we do not own an excess of property.

If we do not violate the Lockean proviso then we can stay on our plot without a payment. A payment is due if you wish to retain land whilst also owning (leasing) an excess. The leasehold has no charge providing the occupant does not own an excess. If the occupant of the leasehold wishes to retain the land then they may do so provided they do not own an excess, in which case they would be required to make a payment for the duration of the next lease, which they would purchase up front. The next leasehold will not be free if you own an excess.
