If ageing is cured, landlords could collect rent for 800 years — time to rethink property rules
VraserX · x · 2026-09-30
A thought experiment: if ageing is cured and people stay healthy for centuries, a landlord owning 300 homes could keep collecting rent for the next 800 years. The author argues property rules should be revisited long before then, asking whether land ownership should carry time limits — or whether buying in 2030 should still entitle you to rent in 2830.
