Whichever nation you live in likely has similar crap.

In China for example there's no property taxes and you can't send your kids to public schools unless you own property.

China is a weird case where there is no property ownership per se, and all the property owners were sent to the fields, yet a generation later everyone is acting as if their 70 year lease is literally the same thing as property and entails the same rights of inheritance and so forth.
