It's chosen and controlled by the citizens. Private land ownership is chosen and controlled by the owner.

I support the latter, and protection of their rights, but the former certainly has more legitimacy.

Is a nation state necessarily chosen and controlled by citizens? Individual property rights predate nation states by thousands of years.
