If the States can sell the land to developers it will happen, but if its just more land that they have to maintain, you can bet the States won't like it one bit. Either way, I suspect that we lose
Do you honestly believe that it's that easy to develop land? Boy, do I have a great deal for you! Would you like a brochure?
There are several "developments" around here that have been under development for decades. Another Hollywood myth: "Build it and they will come." The large ranches sell out to these get-rich-quick "developers". The developers grade roads, mark out lots, draw up maps and wait for the buyers to line up ready to build and live the good life. Well, they actually wait until they go bankrupt.
Fly around SE AZ and SW NM in Google Earth and look for all the graded roads in abandoned areas. Essentially, modern developers are building instant Ghost Towns.
May I recommend Glengarry Glen Ross for your viewing pleasure. ;)
