Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I'm very interested in this idea. How would that work for things that are "part" of the land, like natural resources, or even the topsoil? Would the land be "owned" by the government (I think this might already technically be the case)? Does that mean anybody could just build something in "my" back yard?

Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.
