I used to agree that the property ownership would be a good requirement for voting, have more skin in the game.

I have come to recognize the reality that folks would sell 1 square inch lots to allow others the right to vote.
Well, someone, somewhere would make out on the subdivision, but lot access would be a mess. (Zoning laws could stop that, too),
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
