You can't have it both ways. You can't say there's no private property but then say you own private property. You "own" but you do not own, or you own and "own" is tin foil hat nonsense. It's all in how you say what you say as to why you say it.

It occurred to me when I wrote that that it could me taken the wrong way, but I thought, nah, everyone will know that when I said "my property" I was referring to what is commonly thought of as private property.

So you are right, I really don't own this property. I have certain advantages to holding title but it has only some of the aspects of ownership. Not enough to qualify it as really mine. I have use of it at government pleasure and to a lesser extent my neighbor's pleasure. If you want to know the hoops I had to jump through to have the fence built on the property which most people would agree I own, I will send you to a thread which I recently posted here. I'm guessing that wouldn't interest many.
