> I think it’s a bit crazy you have to pay rent on a property you supposedly own. I think you need to balance you view on what type of ownership this is. You own the land like a child living with their parents “own” their room. The government has allowed you to be the owner of the land yes, but you haven’t paid money to have them hand over their claim to the land fully to you. Your claim to the land is only secondary to your countries claim, and even when living on your land you are still within the country. Your idea that you should pay nothing would have you not only paying the previous “owner” but also paying the country enough money to have them recognize your piece of land as a sovereign nation owned by you, and that sort of thing would have a cost that’s astronomical compared to just transferring the state recognized ownership between individuals.
