This is why I support higher annual fees for domains. If you owned unused land in Manhattan, you'd still be paying a fortune in property taxes that would motivate you to put it to use. For squatters it's the exact opposite, they can let domains remain unused for decades at almost no cost, which benefits no one.

You want all domains including something like thisgeekyishwebsiteisminethanks.com? I haven’t thought it through. But just to make something like thecar.com to cost high $XX per year (not sure if you meant that price pt or $100+), that random useless to anyone else domain above should also have to cost that much?
