RE: Intro to Anarchy with The Pholosopher
Ya, the fees vary by state but are generally low. It's not perfect. Absentee landlord rent and ownership of vacant and unimproved land that you withhold from someone using would be considered illegitimate. That's not to say you couldn't have some type of rental-like agreement. It would be based around you laboring rather than the ownership of the property itself generating a profit.
Define improved. All I need to do is build a cabin on it? Put a natural gas line in? Improving the land I own seems pretty subjective. What defines improved enough? What if I simply use it for hunting? I'm not allowed to own land only used for hunting then? I'm forced to build a tree stand or something on it? You see where this is going of course. It would be easy for someone to "improve" their owned land.
If you built a cabin you would also need to be living in it to establish ownership. That also doesn't mean you'd own an arbitrary amount of land around it, just what you are reasonably using for food production, etc. Land used only for hunting would just be public. Why would you need to own it? If it has to be managed somehow, that would be up to the local community to figure out.
