I've had similar thoughts, and they usually conclude with me thinking that a perpetual license from the government to own land and pay taxes is a bad idea, because it encourages this predatory rental behavior where no equity is accrued on behalf of the renter. They're literally paying something (usually a very large something) on a recurring basis for something that the owner paid for on a one-time basis, except for the taxes (which are typically passed on to renters anyway). The endless payments for no equity to lease a thing which was paid for on a one-time basis is my biggest issue with private property ownership. There's no way in my mind to make it a fair system without some aspect of slowly gaining even partial ownership.
