What happens when a group of people with no property decide to come and take yours and kill you and your family?
As a side note, in regards to your original point about beach front property, the paper you linked only recognizes property rights of property that has been homesteaded. So there would be no way of some rich person purchasing acres of land for their own private use (using the structure definition of homesteading).

You'll just have your family split up, be imprisoned, and forced to live in dehumanizing conditions for years, while your property is taken and sold off for 'revenue.' It's much more civil... For what it's worth I'm playing devil's advocate here, as usual, but I don't think this particular issue is so easy to defend. Something I was surprised to learn is that in the US, the police didn't even exist until 1838. Prior to that there were volunteer community watch and other such programs. I think the proper balance is probably one we've gone long past that's somewhere in between community efforts and heavily centralized paramilitary law enforcement.
