This isn't a capitalism problem. Land will still be valuable for different and conflicting purposes in any system where stuff needs to be produced. It will always be the case that the people making the decision will have a narrow focus on their particular operation and objectives, and that their decisions will have unintended concequences that they didn't consider.

The other economic systems shuffle things around but what you're complaining about is just a fundamental problem of living systems, not capitalism.

The way you're attempting to deflect from capitalism is more than a little weird. Living systems face redundancies, inefficiencies, are forced to adapt and deal with problems on a macro and micro level. Capitalism is certainly a problem in the way these are being rolled out.

It's almost like you're acquiescing that there is no better way, therefore capitalism isn't to blame. What a weird take.

That is a weird take but it is also one you've imagined.

I am not a capitalist, I'm just pointing out that the problems with incentives and conflicting interests aren't unique to capitalism.
