> being parked on and going to absolute waste

1st) Parking makes money (ads). 2nd) All sorts of assets are held without use for speculative reasons; land, art, patents, options e.g. to make movie based on book, metals, money, etc.

Land in particular is very close to domain names in being a limited, exclusive commodity which you can go and see is not being "used" and rail against the "unfairness" of it all.
