Your arguments are all from the point of view of the property owner. To beat this problem, you have to start viewing it from the position of the non owner. To them all your arguments sound like a a lot of reasons to keep them away from improving themselves.
Mine is not "an argument".
It is a reality check.
When you have a problem you cannot try to fix it in a way that is going to give you a devastatingly bigger problem.
It will be a case of "the medicine killing the patient".

I am Zimbabwean born.
I am in South Arica because we lost everything.
Had we saved every penny that we ever earned and eaten grass, our savings and investments would have been worth 3 packs of 18 roll toilet paper.
We were able to scoot into SA when Zim imploded ... as have about 2 million other Zimboons.
Where are South Afruicans gonna scoot to??

There are perfectly lawful and sensibe ways to address the vexed issue of land.
Politicians are been hypocritical about the issue and the ANC is using it as a stick to beat Whites with so as to maintain a hold on the Black vote.
