A ransom strip and land next wants are two different things. Some ransom

Why should they be illegal?


As the word implies "ransom". They are a way to extort money. Have a 6"
strip in front of someone house and if they want to pass your 6" strip of
"land" to the road for services you can ask a high price and a yearly rent.
It should be banned.

Some people who sold off parts of their land would make a ransom strip to
maintain say a view. But it is all too easily abused by sharks - and those
who deal in land is full of those.
