I am not just talking about land. I am talking about any scarce resource.

It's the opposite path to serfdom:
You arrive (through birth or migration) in a place where everything is already owned.
The place may even be depopulating, but the five people who own everything never sell.

The libertarian answer has always been:
move someplace else.
To address the issue (I believe) you're raising—the scarcity of land (i.e., all the land for homesteading is simply finished) and there are "too many" people—many societies have historically built more vertically, eventually up to skyscrapers.

It is unfortunate that (at least many) socialists, instead of fighting for more property rights and freedom (e.g., to erect skyscrapers), they clamor for the expropriation of property and the destruction of private property rights, not realizing that they are shooting themselves in their own feet.
