I meant that nobody disputes the protections of property the constitution of a democratic country gives you.
That family that didn't want to sell may be a PITA to deal with, but it's their right, and I would be really offended if some law passed that favors the supermarket.
As for taxes for land ... yes, they are much higher, but you get lots of stuff in return, as I've said, public roads, public hospitals, public schools, infrastructure for water / electricity, etc...
So raise the tax of owning a domain to $1000 / year.
What will that accomplish? Sooner or later all the good domain names will still be taken and we're back to being creative or to putting our money where our mouth is.
