Get off my property!

What are the thoughts today from Liberal Progressives about those who own large parcels of land? Does the owner have the right to the land he purchased or does it belong to the collective?

I suspect it is still “happy hour” wherever you are posting from.....

Uh.......what the what?
 
I strongly support personal property rights - including land.

I do not agree that personal land can be seized for economic development.

The government should be required to pay the value and usage lose to property (land) by zoning or other regulations.

The government should not be allowed to seize anyone's property - monetary, personal or land - with first obtaining a final court judgement, with the burden strictly upon the government to prove its case.

It is reasonable to place restrictions on land use if that usage would negatively affect others in substantive ways. For example, no raising pigs in city limits, no burning trash within city limits and other reasonable regulations. However, I do think it should be a crime if a person doesn't mow their yard.
 
Of course the owner has rights within reason. I am a progressive who encourages private stewardship of land. Private individuals tend to do a better job than the government at keeping their land in decent shape, save those abandoned urban sprawl folks.

Do you know what 'liberal' means?
 
I think all private land owners, large and small, should be subject to zoning and property taxes, but they should also have a say and/or a vote in both issues.

If Trump is going to build his wall he will need to "TAKE" hundreds of miles of land.

In the process Trump will also cut people off from 1000's of acres of farm / range lands they will still own.

If that doesn't sound fair well the President needs to fulfill his promise and the only way is to "TAKE" land from people who own it.


Eminent domain, the big-government tactic Trump needs to build the wall, explained - Vox

The process by which the government can take private land to use it for public purposes is fairly straightforward.

Lawrence Tribe, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard Law School, says a private landowner is approached by a government agency that wants their land, that agency “typically gives them a deadline by which they must either sell the designated parcel of land to the federal government at the price offered by the government, or have it involuntarily taken by eminent domain at fair market value.” On the border, that agency might be the Department of Defense, the Corps of Engineers, or the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Comrade, the land belongs to the people.

Yep. People have a right to own their property, unless Donald Trump needs it.

Not much thread interest. :(

Glad to see the left hasn't completely lost its mind relative to wealth redistribution. With all this talk from the Dems promoting socialism, my question is on point.

Socialist believe in common property ownership

Nice strawman thread.
 
What’s the straw man?

That any "socialist" (aka, the modern progressive in the viewpoint of modern right wingers) politician or voter believes in land being owned by the "collective".

Don't know, let's ask our president who says he's going to seize private lands for his wall.

The president wants to seize private lands for his wall, that ok with you? A crime to not mow your lawn? Does this fall under the heading of less regulation? Less government getting involved in my business?

That statement was never made.

It belongs to you until an orange idiot wants to seize it to build a wall in a doomed to fail attempt to keep out the brown people that he is afraid of unless they are working for him or his brood for **** wages.
