Americans do not have a problem with land. Americans have a
problem with over-concentrated cities. Americans do not have a
problem with available open land. They have a problem with
controlling open land and forbidding the homeless from
sustaining life on designated public land. The cities pay the
price. The middle class worker foots the bill. The homeless die
in the cold.
Owning mortgaged property is Class A tenancy. Renting is Class B tenancy. Tenancy causes speculative deficit expenditure. Commercial rents help determine the final price of merchandise, goods, services, and labor. Businesses that own their land and buildings graciously accept the market price predetermined by business competitors paying tenancy. Prices of things are established by the cost of tenancy plus the value applied to goods and services, plus tax. Subtracting tenancy from the formula delates the economy and reduces deficit expenditure. Less tenancy in the United States and more ownership of everything, to the extent that is possible, will strengthen the United States in the competitive world economic system. We will remain as strong as our weakest members. Some people need a mortgage to be happy. Some people need to pay rent to be happy. Some people need Homeless Land Reservations to be happy. No doubt, H.L.R.'s will be useful in the greater interest of society. Tenancy speculation does not produce anything, yet it is involved with almost everything. As long as man stays outlawed from the common lands, speculation, similar to the kind that caused the stock market crash of 1929, will cause the homeless displacement of large numbers of Americans.
