We are temporary and land is permanent. This means that when we die the land remains and is not taken with us, from the Earth. The land existed before our arrival and we can only inherit land if it is given to us by our (collective) parents. If none of the older generation ever sell it to us, we might never have land. The land was made (and cleared) by someone else, it is inherited collectively and must be used responsibly. To maximise the pleasure with (by) which we can derive the best use of the land, it must be allocated diligently.
A tasty cake provides more pleasure to many people (each eating their share) than if one person consumes it all.
We must be careful to allocate the land resources diligently to make sure that the most people survive, in the most comfortable conditions. If someone wants to have use of the land, particularly to excess, it is right that they compensate the remainder of the population with an ongoing payment. If someone wants to have an excess of land, they should make a (rent) payment to the rest, in compensation.
