We can own an excess of land if we pay rent to our neighbours

There is a natural cost to land ownership. If we want to protect land we must risk ourselves in protecting, defending it, when it is under threat. The Government removes these costs as there is no charge for land ownership once it has been claimed. This removes mechanisms for the owners to bear the costs to the rest of the population and indemnifies them from their responsibilities, which include being sympathetic to the material needs of our neighbours.

Under a Libertarian system of Government there should be a mechanism to challenge property claims, and to compensate those who have insufficient land. The Government should not protect the land of someone who owns an excess, in violation of the Lockean proviso.

Landowners should be encouraged to show that their ownership is not forever and that they will give up ownership after a limited time, so that it more closely relates to a rental arrangement than outright ownership.

It is not enough for a landowner to have been given permission from the seller, to acquire a property if they own too much. No one wants to be poor and if we deny to others access to our land then we make them less rich than ourselves. It is unfair for the Government to remove the natural costs, and compensations that would exist without (merely) legal recognition of property. If we own land we normally pay compensation of some kind to our neighbours, often reciprocated, but if we can own land without making this payment then the State has given us something for free and taken from others.

Granting property rights without explicit consent from the rest of the population is a form of taxation. Property is theft if we own an excess, unless our neighbours are properly compensated as we have stolen the compensating rental payments which are due to everyone. We can only legitimately own property if we have paid enough to our neighbours.

We must all pay rent on our property.

To share and make the best use of property, since we did not manufacture it, we pay rent for exclusive access. We have a contract with others to stay away from our land, which can be organised centrally. If someone has violated the Lockean proviso, with their property ownership then it is legitimate for the surrounding population to charge them a fee. We can own an excess of (unmade) land if we have paid a fee to others.
