Problem: The establishment of land as private property is illegal (violates natural law, and the law of common ownership), and is also destructive on all of these levels: environmental, social, economic, and community.  The real estate industry has destroyed social and economic fabric of the community, while perverting the original intent of land use for the common good.

Action: To present the real picture of what our current real estate industry is doing, while promoting an healthy alternative to begin healing both the community of humanity and the nature-human relationship.
