    So you build your house on the commons and you find someone wants to drive their cattle through it?
    You want to develop your land (remove rocks, weeds, till the soil etc) and watch others squat on it?
    You grow your corn and squash and others take it?

    Is this community the local co-operative?

    It's everyone who is living in the area and thus would otherwise be at liberty to use the land. Within typical commuting distance, say.

    So someone reckons they could get 100 shekels for grazing cattle on a block.
    And a hundred others reckon they could too. So the price of someone to fence
    them out is 10,000 shekels. Not sure if we could determine if each of the 100
    really intended grazing there, or were just out to exploit some guy who reckon
    he could put the land to better use. And not sure anyone would have had 10k
    shekels to start with. This looks awfully complicated. And what if many others
    find some other use for the land AFTER some hapless guy got himself in debt?

    No; you are just makin' $#!+ up again, as usual, ignoring what I have written in clear, grammatical English several times, and disingenuously pretending I have said something else. It's always the same with despicable apologists for greed, privilege, injustice and evil.

    You build your house in a location where you know that you are paying the community to secure your exclusive tenure for you -- and unlike greedy, despicable parasites, do not expect to take from others and not pay them for what you are taking.
    You are just makin' $#!+ up again, as usual. There is no such thing as "your" land because that would mean you owned other people's liberty rights to use what nature provided for all. If you want to improve some land to make it more suitable to your purposes, then as I have told you in clear, grammatical English, several times, and you always ignore and disingenuously pretend I have not said, you just pay the community to secure your exclusive tenure for you instead of stealing like a greedy, despicable, privileged parasite.
    You are just makin' $#!+ up again, as usual. If you want to exclude others, make just compensation to the community of those whom you exclude in return for secure, exclusive tenure, instead of stealing from the community and expecting the community to stop your victims from defending themselves against you.

    Prediction: you will now again pretend that I have not written what I wrote above. It's always the same.

    No, that is just you makin' $#!+ up again, as usual. The market price of something is the high bid, not the sum of all the bids. You know this, of course. You are just disingenuously pretending not to know it because you also know that you have been comprehensively and conclusively refuted, and you have no facts or logic to offer.
    It is the landowner who exploits everyone else now, which is why they toil their lives away and end up with nothing, while he gets rich without lifting a productive finger. And I will thank you to remember it.
    Because you have made your $#!+ up for that purpose. What I have described is extremely simple: pay the market price for what you take to the parties from whom you are taking it.
    One of the benefits of a free market economy is that resources tend to move into the hands of those who will use them most productively. That necessarily means they move out of the hands of the hapless dudes who won't. If someone is relying on being able to use a specific land parcel because he has invested in specific fixed improvements, he can pay a modest premium to ensure his location subsidy repayment (LSR) won't increase by more than a certain amount for a certain period of time, like buying insurance or a financial option contract.
