It’s a huge undertaking. If successful, it would be one of the largest land purchases in Hawaii, behind Larry Ellison’s nearly 90,000-acre acquisition on the island of Lanai.
How fucking sad that you can buy 90k acre for personal ownership. There is no reason any one person should own that much land.
Where i live it personal land owners cut off access to water ways. There is a river not 5 minutes from my house however I cant access it cause it’s all private land. Pretty sad
It seems inevitable to me given how territorial people are. Not just people, other animals too. Like even chimps have different groups that control different territory.
Yes, but they don’t own it. Territory has to be used and protected. Ownership has some implication that even if no longer used, it is still “mine” and not the community’s. IDK, tough to see what could be as that branch in the development of civilization is so far back. Rutger Bregman has a segment about this in Humanity.
It particularly infuriates me whenever I see someone claim that taxing billionaires would remove their incentive to participate in the economy. As though they’re going to say “if I work this year I’ll only be able to afford 40,000 acres, guess I’ll shut the company down”.

I think land ownership itself is one of the big mistakes we made as a species.

Fuck those lies
Capitalism claims to be about needs but it’s really just about the wants of the wealthy.
And the stupid that believe they will be equal at some point.
Especially in a small island chain.
