Is your cabin in a city with a population of 1.3m? While it sounds very cool, it doesn't sound like the idea would scale, either.

> There is more than enough land for everyone to have a small chunk. With technology it is easy to be connected and employed anywhere.

Anywhere there are utilities. Also, who decides how those chunks are allocated? Who gets a chunk in Monaco and who gets one in the New Mexico desert?

Utilities aren't needed. Solar is cheaper than running new electrical. Wireless internet is affordable and fast.

Henry George has some good ideas on valuing and taxing land. Maybe even negatively taxing the worse land.
