I buy a portion of mining land and develop only one section of it - leaving the rest completely unused and undisturbed - with the sole intention of using it in the future when the current mine runs dry. What would be the position of priority use in that case?I didn't miss any point it's a non issue. If we're going with priority use over ownership just how did you "buy" anything to begin with? If we apply the workings of an ownership model to the backdrop of a priority use model it shouldn't be surprising to see that the two don't match.
Quote:Not much objection here. But how would you create a culture of preference for communal ownership?Same way we already do. By stressing the benefits to ones own personal interests. Use of equipment that you could not afford outright - or that you only use every so often and is thus not economically feasible. Similar situation with property rights (which we already do, sometimes one entity owns the mineral rights another the water rights - they're communally sharing the land at an effectively lower cost due to distributing their various claims to specific property rights).
Quote:The problem with communal ownership usually is that the responsibility of proper usage falls to everyone - which means, it effectively falls to no one. Which is not to say that it couldn't work, but that it would often fail unless a majority within the community chooses to be responsible.People are always the problem, lol, thankfully, they're also the solution, eh?
