> Still no references then. I didn't ask for experiments; any decent journalism would suffice. Of course no references! Do you think even local journalists cover these things? Are you wrapped in a first-world bubble where you've never heard of local land rights being fought over? You've never met people from third-world countries willing to tell you about their fights with getting basic property rights enforces? > You're assuming the government is a monolithic entity, either corrupt or not. The truth is that often corruption is widespread but there are people at the top trying to fix it. I know enough governments officials in sufficiently high-enough places to know that there's people at the top who want to do the right thing. > That's not an easy task, and it's where keeping good, unforgeable records can help. This is where things are wrong. Where I live there's tons of illegal construction, disputed properties, and illegal sales. Recordkeeping has never been the issue; the issue is that legal disputes can take decades to settle with no particular recourse even for egregious lawbreaking.
