There was a documentary/investigative report fone years ago about buildings and land all over the country, random government owned land, not even in use at all.
The problem is when anyone mentions the possibility of selling government land most people think that means Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon. They don’t think random vacant land with old buildings or just random land scattered all over.
There’s a lot of government land no one wants to buy unless they are exempted by the hazardous cleanup costs.

Most people don’t know the vast amount of “federal land” (most of it NOT national parks and such, the federal government holds in the western states:

And it is folks in the eastern states that will object the most to selling “national” lands, and of course they will, because unlike western states they hold 90%+ of THEIR lands.
