Land, real estate, clay, whatever word you want to use, is so valuable people die for it. A lot. When I said land was valuable because you needed it to grow food, I grossly underestimated it's value. It's where your kids are safe, where they can be born amongst their people. Our home clay is the font of all that is good and valuable to us. The homestead sense of home can only be on a steady foundation, and that is more valuable than life itself. When our property has such value to us, it isn't for sale - but it can be taken from us.

I know.

When we have raised our kids, and fed them from our land, it no longer has that deep and intrinsic value. Then we can sell it and move on. I seem unable to glimpse your vision of inviolability of land. I'm sure it makes sense to you, is coherent with your worldview. It's fully reasonable for different people to have disparate views of things, because we have different lives, different motivations, different reasons. I get it.
