So you arnt infact against property rights just that you want it to be distributed more fairly.

How would you even go about doing such a thing? Tell rich people how they can spend their money (de facto , owning all income) ? Have the government , by default, own all the land?
Lets get past the moral implications and even the anti-freedom aspects here and mention how inefficient government is , not to mention the massive lobbying for land that would no doubt occur. Theres also the massive administration costs.

I used to work for the local government in the community(council) housing repair sector and I can tell you now that we spent millions upon millions of pounds per year just repairing keyholes and fences in a very small radius ...probably about an 8-12 mile radius.

If the above isnt the answer what could allow the poor to get more property? a massive minimum wage?


You are being massively vague I have to say. Lots of "shoulds" but now many "hows".
