I think private ownership is generally superior to public because you care about the land more and it doesn't get trashed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The public lands are a public stock, which ought to be disposed of to the best advantage for the nation.
One of the things I would love for people to think about is social responsibility. If you are fortunate enough to be someone who owns land, I think you ought to be making the most efficient use of that land possible.
It is clearly better that property should be private, but the use of it common; and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.
No man should have proprietary rights over land who does not use that land wisely and lovingly.
Private ownership of property is vital to both our freedom and our prosperity.
Private property is a very fundamental and very long-term institution.
I like owning dirt. You know, I spent a lot of time broke when I moved to California. So deep in my soul is still this idea of being unemployed. To me, owning land means you could sell it at some point and have money.
Private property was the original source of freedom. It still is its main ballpark.
There is a deliberate and quite outspoken attack on the whole idea of people owning private property.
Land ownership has never been a problem. People have access to land. The peasants cannot complain about land ownership.
