Good point. Unpaid externalities of security: large landowners' needs for land security are higher (than resident parcels), but they certainly don't pay more taxes per acre (indeed, sometimes less). But at the same time, efficiencies of scale in many land-intensive industries cannot be realized without large areas being combined for a single purpose. Hard circle to square.
