  1. Engineer says 50 years of erosion research ignored by government and courts

    "I've come to the conclusion, after 50 years, that there's very little other option than for the Australian government, Australia-wide, to just simply say, 'You can enjoy the coast while it's there, but property owners cannot protect their property.' End of story," Mr Gordon said."

    "The Byron and Tweed Shire councils were urged to control development within 1 kilometre of the shoreline, and stipulate landholders who disregarded the policy did so "at their own risk".

    The paper 'Beach law in the anthropocene' "reviewed legal systems around the world and found private property rights trumped public interest...Our common law tradition assumes coastlines are stable and coastal property boundaries can be fixed...But as the effects of climate change become more dramatic, those assumptions no longer hold."

    "Professor Smith said it was time for tough discussions about a transition strategy.
    "We really need to think about what sort of future we want for the coastal zone, and we need to resolve who bears the ultimate rights and responsibilities for these lands — whether we are going to preference private property rights over public rights, whether we're going to preference people's rights over nature's rights," he said."

  5. Spokesman-Review: WA homeowners, farmers say their land is being stolen for data centers. “Data centers are demanding more energy than ever to fuel artificial intelligence, and the utility is not only running out of locally sourced electricity but also power-line capacity. To build more, the [Grant County Public Utility District] considered running lines through public lands, protected […]

  9. The reason I think #MatriarchalCommunism is the next (or first!?) truly civilized "phase" (if we survive this) is because the rise of primative #accumulation and #capitalism, including the #enclosures of #public #land transfomed into #private, the development of #wage #labor following the #crisis of european “need” for expanding #markets and labor, and the witch trials and murders (10s of thousands of basic #sisters, daughters, and #grandmothers) created or deepened (while adding 100% incrs of intensity of #misogyny) the line between men/male and women/female (less than), while hitherto, communities included #identities and #labor performed independently or in #untraditional #families.
    Previous to “Oh shit the world is round!” the #complementary #division of labor for #families in the structure meant women's #work was valued, #compensated with #trade and #respect. #Euro-Colonialist states and the church’s (both #Protestant and #Catholic) #insatiable #desire for #freelabor and #profit purposefully created #genders #races and #childabuse. Before, there were territories and natural boundaries. after the violent and terrifying rise of #privateproperty in #Europe they demanded heirarchies binaries to separate who profits from who labors and who slaves
    But what if #We #ridetogether #rideordie

  10. Whose property do the communists want to destroy?


    "You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society."

    Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, “The Communist Manifesto.” 1847.

  11. Perhaps property is where an end to the corporate and people divide can be agreed on? The relation of investors to people has become so extreme; accelerating inequality and injustice that a cap on fascist growth must be called for before violent revolutions and or civil wars takes place! #CorporateProperty #PrivateProperty #Lettings #Renters #FairDeal #JusticeForEpsteinVictims #Revolutions #CivilWars npr.org/2026/01/20/nx-s1-56752

  13. Simon Fairlie on Enclosure

    'the common ownership of land, and the history of its enclosure, provides a template for understanding the enclosure of other common resources, ranging from the atmosphere and the oceans to pollution sinks and intellectual property. The physical fences and hedges that staked out the privateownership of the fields of England, are shadowed by the metaphorical fences that now delineate more sophisticated forms of private property'

  15. The Quw’utsun (Cowichan) First Nation was exactly right in 2017:

    ""We don’t want to argue about settlers' interests versus First Nations' interests — we want to argue about what the Crown did wrong.””

    They knew that if the case was framed as ‘taking over private property rights’, that it would be politicized and a lightning rod for racism and misinformation when that was not the point of their claim, which was against the Crown.

    ""It would be wrong. It’s wrong morally, it’s wrong legally. It’s pitting interests against each other when the person who caused the problem is the Crown.””

    Another excellent report from CBC's Jason Proctor.

  17. @RAHU

    “In the zone” - zoning changes, infrastructure upgrades, create conditions to redevelop. The “invisible hand” is attached to a government body, working within the scaffolding of our existing planning, property and social systems, unchanged since a bloody British colony was established two hundred years ago.
