the story is that the ultra rich do not want a thriving middle class.....they don't want them to own land, not just farms, but any land...not vacation land...not seaside land, not land in the mountains....nothing....
this is the elitist dream to enjoy our natural treasures without the annoying middle class up and comers spoiling the view...
remember the fight over Sherwood Forest....
actually a lot of hunting nowadays is reserved for the rich or the famous....lots of land locked away from Joe the Plumber etc....
Supposedly there are public lands that are no longer available to you or me. Private landowners have purchased land that surrounds public lands. In order to get to the public land you would have to trespass. These landowners run hunting expeditions that go onto the public lands. So if you're rich enough you can access the public lands via the private lands.
Otherwise you need to stick to places like Yosemite Valley where the huddled masses wait their turns in traffic jams on the roads and trails for the perfect picture of a trickling waterfall under a smoggy sky.
