To every one whose access to land is denied.

There is sufficient public space. You just can't do there everything. Most land in most countries is accessible.

Why should people pay for a place? For water or air?

Because it helps to allocate limited resources in an efficient way.

There is phenomenon called "homelessness". Why are people homeless? Because they can't pay an apartement maintenance costs? They are only 50e/month. They can't pay the land, but do they form a state?

Actually homeless people are pretty much a border case. As the society requires obedience to the law, one can require it to give something in exchange especially, when the grab is on nearly all available land - and we give:
Usually the cause for homelessness is a mental illness. If you are able to ask for help. It will be granted to you. If you pledge to work within your ability, our society will grant you a home. At least in Germany, but I guess in all of western Europe nobody becomes homeless, because his ability to earn money in the market doesn't earn him enough to pay for a home.

Yes, but not with the expense of the real economy.

If you believe that, then at least I know, why you oppose policies that would make famine history.

You know, that's the second ad hominem you've resorted to in this thread. Not a good sign of confidence in your position.

You have started this.

I'm 100% confident in my position. I'm annoyed that I have to explain over and over again things, that are either not related to my original point, or are already completely clear from what I have written before.
