If the owners aren't paying for it, then it should go to the public domain. The idea of someone "owning" land seems pretty stupid to me.

When advancing wildly heterodox ideas, one is well advised to be prepared to defend them. Do so well, and you may make your audience thoughtful; do so poorly or not at all, and you only make them annoyed.

Technically the gov't own the land (or so they say), they just let you use it. Like money.
