You're dancing around the issue that some people are landgrabbing.
Funny, I heard about story on NPR this afternoon about landgrabbing in
San Paulo, and how if you just throw a tarp on a parking lot and stay
there for six years, eventually nobody can do anything about it. They
were talking about the social implications of 90% of San Pauloans not
understanding the concept of a mortgage. It's a social problem.
Societies need structure. This is analogous.
