Check out who owns inner London land. Or the Duchy of Cornwall.

There are examples of "leases of years" like Canberra/ACT in Australia, where all titles are for 99 year leaseholds.

They've started renewing them since the first leases were granted in the 1920s.

Well ok but those are exceptional cases. What the person was talking about was a generic case.

> those are exceptional cases

the 99/100 year lease is quite common in many Europan countries. It's not "exceptional" here
