Nah, private propery is a silly concept, especially when it's essential resources.
We were all shocked and appalled at people hording masks, sanitiser, TP, food etc not so long ago. Sitting on TP you aren't using while someone else goes without is absolutely trivial compared to a house/land.
Using a thing is part of what grants you rights to it. People deserve a chance to explain why something is unused, and if it is temporary they shouldn't lose rights (e.g. medium term contract away from home, pending works, social obligations etc) but multiple homes and one vacant? Sitting on something to try make cash? Nah not yours anymore.

Elenore Ostrom literally got a Nobel prize for spending a career shitting all over that misanthropic nonsense. Yes, Commons get messed up if someone comes in and destroys all community but many Commons are managed peacefully for centuries.
Please delete the tragedy of the Commons from your mind, it is an old and incomplete picture formed by a grumpy old fart witnessing a time of upheaval and community breakdown.
"If trends continue..."
So much stupidity hides in those 3 words.
Just mikuri counter your boss next time they point at you.
Skill issue.
Why you gotta come after physics dorks :( most of us just like the universe and helping people.
Just 'cause we get a brain disease and become horrible if we get fame doesn't make us bad. It's a serious condition: http://smbc-comics.com/comic/2012-03-21
Anyone know a good tree removal person out Penrith way?
Got a few small dead/dying trees we need at least the stumps ground on but it's a complex job with a raised bed and a unmortared rock retaining wall, near the house/fence.
Prefer it not turn into a clusterfuck.
Also no I don't hate trees, we're planting natives (mostly) in their place that will actually provide food and shelter.
Elites when proles gain even the slightest hint of power: Ohshitohfuckfuckfuckohshitshitfuckshitfuck
That sort of arterial congestion explains the piss drinking.
16 ounces of "electrolyte water" every day huh?
You guys are like mid 20s you're not youths. You're old news now.
The tragedy of the Commons though is not the idea that sometimes Commons are mismanaged. It is an economic theory that says Commons inevitably are mismanaged as simple self interest causes people to "rationally" renege on any collective agreements. Therefore, so it goes, we need to sell everything for only by appealing to base, short-term, greed will things flourish as private property encourages people to make their land more productive.
This is deeply flawed, as Elenore demonstrated time and time again. By repeating this notion you spread the sort of flawed thinking uses to justify the neoliberal ideology that has so poisoned the world.
There is no such rule of Commons mismanagement, like all things systems can break but it is not inevitable or even particularly likely except under other pressures. Indeed commons are often extremely resilient, and so we should not overemphasise times when they fail.
