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?
