This is the end result of unchecked capitalism. The first tendency is for mass production as it concentrates labor wealth to an individual as incentive. The next stage is growth and monopolistic tendencies. As corruption sinks in we get collusion and anti-consumer practices like this.
In what universe does a person claim a territory the size of a city and everyone and their mother defends their right to restrict use of that land to people who have none.
