I&#x27;d like to just see a return to homesteading period. If a property goes unused &#x2F; unoccupied for a year, anyone can move in. No more land squatting to drive up real estate prices and use it as a store of wealth.<p>Yes, this kills real estate as a long term investment. No, that <i>is</i> a good thing, we should collectively much rather see capital invested in the stock market rather than being thrown into precious metals or property as a store of value.
