> If you weaken respect and protection for land ownership then, rationally, you weaken the recognition of all property rights from food to clothing to musical instruments to your tech devices. there's a fallacy of scale here, in the same way a handgun isn't the same as a nuclear weapon, and so should probably have different provisions applied to it. land is vastly more useful, and usable, than someone's shirt or ipad. multiple people can enjoy a stream, or a forest, or even a singular tree on a piece of land at the same time, and in a multitude of ways. that's not true of an ipad or shirt. this diversity and simultaneity of use puts land in a different class. severing tight coupling of personal property(like shirts and ipads) with private property(land, generally structures on land, though the latter is admittedly more contestable), is pretty useful and seems totally rational to me. it seems less rational to think weakening one would weaken the other. If anything, the distinction between personal and private property opens up new ways of thinking about property that can lead to agreeable outcomes. more generally, see also the benefits of the commons - https://www.nature.com/articles/340091a0 https://www.nature.com/articles/340091a0 that said i'm with you in certain respects, i generally like solitude personally, but though i dream of having ten or so acres myself, i don't want to deprive anyone else of thoughtfully, carefully, and temporarily enjoying it either.
