If you'd like you're welcome to lobby for the homestead act again. That would solve your lack of land without having to violate other peoples rights

- tehjoker 6y agoThe homestead act was part of westward expansion. The free "unclaimed" land (it was Native American land) provided a relief valve for the American system. When the poor became too uppity, the government would provide them with an escape valve of free land and adventure. When we finally reached California, that escape valve disappeared. What you claim are rights, I dispute. The ability to control other people's living situation and extract rents is not a natural right. If anything, it's an abomination.
