Land does not have to be owned by someone, much like we have no landlord or bank who rents out chunks of the air, or the sky (though we could just as easily have systems to assign "ownership" to those). OTOH when someone builds physical property like a camper van or house, that's slightly different.

Actually air is bought / sold. In cities like NYC the real estate above land is just as valuable as real estate connected to land. What ends up happening is someone can own the air above your building preventing you from building up.
