Would you be ok with private owners being able to buy up all your water and only selling when they want to at the "market rate"?
If speculators can buy up all the available property, why not allow them to buy up a region's drinking water too? I'd be the first to jump in and get massive loans investing in it. When it all dries up and no one wants to sell, will people be cheering on the free market here?
