That's very true unfortunately. I say some version of this when I come across these threads but there are different types of ownership in our world currently.

If you "own" a house in this country (there are some exemptions but they're rare and always under attack) you do not own the property, you own an indefinite interest in the equity of the property. This system harolds back to the Feudal via a type of ownership called Fee Simple. In this system a person (or entity) owns the equity of a plot of land for an indefinite amount of time until A) They sell it or B) the real owner (city/county/state/federal gov) decides they want it back and force a sale through Eminent Domain. That's because one, or a combination of all, of those entities actually owns the land itself and therefore has ultimate ownership of it. That's why they can regulate what you do on/with the land, tax it, and take it back (with "just" compensation of course).

The only way to outright own land is through the acquisition of Allodial Title. With that type of the title, the contract of ownership is between you and God. No one can take the land unless you sell it, no can tax it without consent, and you can do whatever you want with it so long as you not harming/injuring your neighbors.

Until we have Allodial Title back, land ownership with simply be dignified Serfdom that the government isn't full exploiting until they decide to again.
