Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can't make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.
What would you propose then? That if I built a house somewhere someone else could come along and build a house right next to mine? If so, wouldn't that simply create the incentive to build structures that used as much land as possible to keep others away?
Or are you saying that plots of land should be rented instead? If so, that's basically already the case. Stop paying property taxes and see how long that plot of land you "own" remains yours.
