John Leslie	12/14/25 10:05 PM	TDR is immoral. Consolidating power and control to central planning rule. We have already seen attempts to monetize this globally by listing on the stock exchange. Consolidation and centralization are the inescapable outcomes. Regional, state, philosophical interests or others building control of the land. We are not a proletariat to be lorded over. As separated rights, what is to stop these from being sold or deeded to interests that the citizens never had a voice in or worse, foreign or adverse entities. This is obscene and needs to stop.
