All fair and logical points, But still despite that certain areas would be more desirable than other, even if you could terraform any piece of land into the perfect vineyard there'd still be a desire for land in Champagne, France as presumably 'authentic champagne' would fetch more latinum at a Ferengi run market
But yeah this is all hypothetical just interesting to wonder how the federation would resolve land disputes(say Jean-Luc retired and wanted to run the vineyard a different way to his brother, would the 'courts' consider they both have an equal family claim to it, would their parents will if any have precedence, would Jean-Luc's decades of services to Starfleet or his brother commitment to the vineyard sway the judge(s) one way or the other)
Star Trek has gold-pressed latinum because replicators and terraformers can't reproduce terroir. It is known.
time to watch The Neutral Zone again. that's not the motivation of future people, nobody on earth gives a shit about space bucks.
But people on i.e. DS9 do, and have the ability to travel back and forth from earth
they organized their society long before the cardassians occupied bajor, let alone the federation administration of DS9
So? things change, my point is some land/property is more valuable than others even in a post scarcity society, thus conflcits will arise over ownership/usghe and society will need a way to resolve them
you are aggressively not engaging with the text, i can't help you
Huh?
There are canon episodes showing federation humans caring about space bucks, the DS9 episode In the Cards for one where Jake Sisko wants to bid on some baseball cards as a present for his dad in an auction Quarks holding
Societies don't remain static they change in response to new stimuli
I'm saying it's entirely possible in the fictional universe of star trek that property disputes on earth can still arise,
hypothetically let's say Quark has some new editions of Pleasure Goddess of Rix or whatever not available on earth or anywhere else, he'll only trade for some champagne produced in the Champagne region of France and can tell the difference between wine produced elsewhere or replicated
That could give a human, even one raised on post scarcity earth the impetus to want to take over some land in that area to turn into a champagne vineyard(in this hypothetical there are no vineyards there anymore from which can gain the commodity they want) how would the federation government on earth adjudicate giving him some of the land(again in this hypothetical all the land in occupied/in use) over a current occupier?
