As for this point: "What about the person who lives in the city and doesn't have access to rural land? Public land is the answer."
So you are saying someone living in Baltimore needs access to grazing land in Nevada? Why not one of the hundreds of national parks or thousands of state ones. There is no shortage of parkland in most of the country. Why you have the Shenandoah not too far from you.
So why are you so hell bent on giving away the country?
That's right, giving it away. The land out there is not going to bring some massive amount money. Nobody lives there, there is no infrastructure to support anybody living there and I personally like it that way when I drive through that area.
Good point. There are blocks of land in AZ that would love to buy. 30 acres or so lots that don't break the bank. But the problem is there isn't water or electric anywhere near the property.
Much of the private land that is adjacent to public land is ranches managed for $5,000/week hunts. I make good money but I can't do that. I can hunt on the public land for the cost of travel, hunting licenses, etc. And most states fund wifdlife management and conservation off hunting fees. Public land generates far more hunting license revenue than a private ranch does.
