There is no hiding that the Federation is a fascist military dictatorship disguising their blatant junta as anything else, changing day to day what the disguise may be.
The only "rich" humans we know in the shows... Are high ranking military officers or their families, and those who deal in Latinum (the post-scarcity-isn't-actually-post-scarcity unobtanium).
It is very likely that land allocation is based on military influence. Not necessarily military rank, but just some value to them in some way. Maybe some old money, but not likely much, unless the old money funded the military takeover of Earth.
As we know from reality, people are, general rule, very dumb and easily satisfied. People will eat the bugs, they will live in the pods, they will sign away their rights and freedoms. Willingly and readily with an easy narrative. "Ownership" likely doesn't have a high premium to the vast majority of the lower castes: they will own nothing, and be happy about it, to quote our modern-era World Economic Forum. So allocations probably won't be too heavily contested.
