    Let me add to this that 1) I don't think I should get paid for airplanes going overhead, etc. 2) I don't own all the water flowing through a section of waterway that runs through my property, and 3) Property is not a pie slice that starts at the center of the earth and works its way out into space--that is an antiquated standard originating from a time when technology didn't allow for the use of too far up or down whose adjustment, once those things became the norm, was necessary to be redefined. Unfortunately, its not been well defined, and technology has advanced even more since then. (a bit about property rights)

    A conversation and even legislation that better defines property rights needs to be had in light of things like the advent of wide-spread drone use, fracking, and increased damage to the environment from pollution, fragmentation, etc. If a business or individual generates pollution, they should be held responsible for how it impacts my property and the property of others. Someone in the media shouldn't be able to use a drone to spy on someone's property from the sky. An individual shouldn't be able to tunnel under someone's property to get to something under there or on the other side, etc, though (IMO) a subway should be able to get an easement (I was surprised that this is a thing).

    Something came to mind. When I lived in California,a restored military jet,crashed into the mall. Now the airport originally was located a long way from the town. this was in Concord in conta costa county.
    See this map.


    The Town grew over the years,and built around the Airport. The Jet exploded because of its jet fuel. It was Christmas eve,BTW when the jet crashed. Several people,and children died. The jet hit right where the "Santa" for children was set up.

    The point is,if the town had not built right up to the airport,it would have crashed in a field.

    Here is a picture of the aftermath.

    Oceana and Virginia Beach are the same way--every few years someone is killed when a jet crashes.
