Buncha silly peasants, thinking they own land and stuff.
You don't own any land, silly peasant.
You just pay rent (read: "property taxes") for land your masters and their cronies graciously allow you to use for purposes they must approve.
And if you don't pay, or they don't approve, then you'll find out who really owns what.

Kyle is a native James Islander who only wants to use his civil engineering skills to develop thoughtful properties in his hometown. Consistent with the nature of small towns, he is acquainted with most of the residents and regularly works with them to ensure he takes their needs into account—a quality in a developer that most towns can only dream of.
His projects are designed to blend in and enhance the surrounding neighborhoods. He initially wanted to build mixed-use, residential and commercial properties. After the town nixed that idea, he pivoted to something that would have minimal impact and was clearly allowed under the zoning code—a storage facility. The town wasn’t willing to allow that either.
The town tried to interfere with the sale of land to Kyle. But once their efforts failed, the town realized they only had one tool left to deny Kyle the right to develop his own property. The town resorted to the extreme tactic of authorizing eminent domain, claiming that they needed the land for a park. But without any previous discussion of a park, funds for a park, or plans for a park, it is clear that the park is just a pretext for stopping Kyle from lawfully developing his property, a blatant constitutional violation.
Kyle has teamed up with the Institute for Justice in his lawsuit filed in South Carolina state court to challenge the town’s unlawful attempt at taking his property.
