This is a total non sequitur.

These "existing property entitlements" are no imposition on you at all, since you have no right to any of that property to begin with. This is like saying that George Steinbrenner is imposing upon me by not letting me have the Yankees.

They're an imposition if they're your only way of leaving your house.

Yeah, that's what I should be afraid of. Some guy is going to buy the 20 foot circular plots of land aroud other peoples propery and post armed guards there demanding the homeowners do not come onto his property because this is his new pasttime.

To both you and pvn: Not quite. He'll simply own the main access roads so you're forced to pay whatever money or conditions he charges for his services, even though you had no say in said ownership. I'll repeat again. Finite property. Historical ownership. Same problems as the social contract.

Looks like politics is back to what it was. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
