We'll just destroy the environment and privatize the land that isn't.
In the early 1900s the Collier family made themselves a big pile of money and bought what later became Collier County, Florida. Pretty much all of it was privately owned by them, along with a collection of every type of Porsche ever made and a bunch of other "gee, what can I do with ALL this money" activities... Property taxes encouraged them to sell the land off and now what once was a private family "farm" about 100 years ago is now home to over 400,000 people.
