Question: what if all residental real estate property were free except taxes and upkeep? If we all came together and put our money together like in a mutual fund or money pool.

Answer: Isn't that the government's stance?  They own all land, but they let us PRETEND to own it and sell it--until we don't pay our taxes or do the upkeep, and then they take it back from us like a backwards Robin Hood on CRACK.
