It is a crime of omission that some people are permitted to own an excess of land

There is no other crime of omission than to fail to maximise the utility of resources. If we do not make good use of what is given to us, this is a crime of omission. We have no obligation to use our resources for others, only to use them well. Owning an excess of land is not to use the land well when we can benefit from the prosperity derived from making the land available to other people.

It is a crime to be in possession of an excess of land because, to some extent, the land is property of us all. Regretfully, we must own some of the land to better grow crops and build property but the less land we use the better it is for our neighbours. We tolerate the land ownership of others, so that we might too have our own land. Since land ownership is objectionable to everyone else, it is best to minimise it on a personal level.

We are entitled to object to excessive land ownership and there is nothing wrong with a limit on land acquisition. We have a right to own land only if by doing so, we improve the environment and provide positive utility. It is not helpful for someone to have an excess of land and consequently the land ownership is illegitimate.
