    The government doesn’t set the price of lots or land, that’s determined by the seller. A deed will still be worth its value unless total lawless anarchy takes over. If the government is overthrown, the price of land is only effected by the stability of the currency.

      I guess OP meant won’t be worth much as in „when your government is overthrown, the new government might just kick you out of your home and strip you of your land“ as the current government is actually the only party giving you the right to claim ownership of the land.

        Homie forgot the purpose of all of this is so we don’t have to defend our territories like wild animals. Property ownsership akin to this has existed since Ur. Law and the ability to enforce it is what keeps this viable.

      Ownership is a legal fiction that doesn’t exist outside government.

      Being able to occupy or defend something isn’t the same as owning either. A bear can defend it’s territory without property rights. A goose can shit in your front yard without an easement.
