Author Peter Barnes: "All accu­mu­lation therefore of personal pro­perty, beyond a man’s own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes, on every principle of justice, of gratitude, and of civiliza­tion, a part of that accu­mulation back again to society from whence the whole came.” What Paine invented here, in my retrospective opinion, was a prescient stroke of genius.

It is a model as relevant — and revolu­tion­ary — today as it was then." https://evonomics.com/a-new-capitalism-the-case-for-universal-property/

Community land trusts are a way to preserve affordable housing in California. But funds evaporated after not being disbursed for years.
