Taxes. That's how it works in real estate anyway. You can own as much land as you can afford but you have to pay taxes on all of it. And you can lose it to both clean-it-or-lein-it and adverse possession. And you have liability when folks get hurt on your land. And there are tax incentives to push ownership over leasing when folks who want it come knocking. So lots of down sides to owning land that you're not using as effectively as your neighbors.
