That's why you introduce a land value tax. As the supply of interested parties increases, so too does the demand and therefore the value of the land. This has several effects:

1) incentivizes unproductive land owners to sell

2) incentivizes productive land owners to seek tenants

3) generates public revenues to offset negative externalities

That never seems to get mentioned at the time the commons are privatized, only in salons later on. Also, it's rather hard to build capital improvements on fisheries, and correspondingly this does nothing for the preservation of wilderness. which is a problem that privatization is supposed to solve but frequently doesn't.

Yes but the rentier class (our overlords) don’t like LVT.
