And it is taxpayers’ land. I am against taking land away that taxpayers have paid for and continue and pay for and putting it in the hands of a few.

How do you think most of the States came about? Fedgov purchased land, territories were formed, and at some point chunks thereof were admitted as a State. The only non-military, non-admin land FedGov should own is territories. All that forest should be given to the States and they can keep it as such, or have sales. The only restriction I would argue for is limiting/not allowing foreign purchases, and maybe prioritizing small purchases (up to, say, 100-acre parcels)

Putting the land in the hands of the states is a workable solution. The voters could then have a say in what is allowed to be sold.
