Touche; but not here in Hawaii; though it has increased. It will all depend on whether or not an individuals right to own private property is allowed to continue, and whether or not my offspring understands the importance of land ownership and doesn't end up selling the land I leave to them. There might be some kind of lawyer shit I can do to ensure the land isn't sold. Not sure though.

I speak from experience. My grandparents sold much of their own land or their parents land, and they have all come to recognize it as a mistake. The youth often sell out their future for the present moment. It's not that I don't think i'll be able to trust my children, it's that children and the youth in general often act without thinking of the consequences; and often times regret said decisions in the future. You act like trying to prevent my offspring from selling off land I leave to them is somehow evil; do you feel the same way in regards to the preservation of national parks? Should we sell off all that land to corporations and have them develop it?

But it doesn't matter, you can try and chastise me for wanted to gift my offspring for generations land that they can live on so that they don't have to endure a lifetime of debt in which they never own the land they live on and which most likely in the end will go back to the bank they borrowed it from. You can call that whatever you want. I will continue to buy land and do my best to develop it in such a way that it has the ability to sustain my family for generations. You can do as you like.

Well as I said before, I would do my best to instill in them the value of land ownership. Pretty sure I said that multiple times. However, there are laws because people don't always do what is in the best interest of themselves and others. Correct?

Are you in support of eliminating all restrictions on industry? Would you like to dismantle the EPA? How about we allow murder and theft and every other thing that society has deemed as criminal. Your argument is lackluster my friend. It's entire point is to somehow demonize the idea of individual land ownership and the preservation of said land for generations to come.

Should we get rid of the reservation system and allow all the tribes in America to sell their land to corporations?

Just because you feel you'll never acquire land and or be able to pass it down through your lineage doesn't mean that my desire to do so is somehow flawed.
