The issue of ownership of land strikes to the very core of human
occupation of the planet. Ownership has never been absolute. In
ancient Israel God Himself put limits on it in various ways. Even the
eternal grant of Canaan's land was conditional. A simpler example was
the requirement that the poor were to be permitted to glean leftover
grain from the owners' fields.
In modern times, all governments retain the right to dictate how a
landowner may or may not utilize property. �Varying from one
nation/state to another, overlapping and restrictive regulations lead
some to conclude (with justification) that property ownership is a
myth - that owners are mere tenants who pay 'rents' (taxes) to the
government and get ejected if they don't comply with the landlord's
rules. �Obviously some jurisdictions are more officious and
restrictive than others, but a wise man must sooner or �later realize
that whatever "ownership" does mean �in the context of real estate, it
does NOT mean you have unrestricted rights to do what you like with
it. �Only nut-fringe anarchist/libertarian types claim to believe
government should have no say whatever, and of course
socialist/liberal statists think ALL use of land must be regulated.
The degree of government control over citizen use of land deeded to
him is an important measure of human freedom.

The so-called "rent" (taxes) is what keeps the schools running, the
roads in shape and other necessities.
Laws that govern what the land is used for is dictated by the local
politicians who were voted in by the majority of voters, or voted on
directly by the majority.
Often not true. Many zoning boards and administrators are appointed and many who are appointed, INTERPRET existing laws in ways that were never intended. I've gotten legal interpretations that are completely opposite from the county attorney and the state Attorney General's office. Who argues with the state AG? I can tell of an AG ruling that only county assessors were even privy to. You needed to spend a lot on lawyers in order to challenge the ruling.
No one even knows how an AG will interpret the law when/if he has to run for office. Entrenched bureaucrats are as great a danger as loose cannon legislators.

That is the way the system works. Like the
bumper stickers says " America, love it or leave it"..
Until voters see that rights are taken away with every law that is
passed, it will only get worse.
