I can appreciate your concerns. As far as anyone being "pushed off their land", I don't think that's going to happen in any kind of wholesale fashion. They can afford to wait. All they have to do is wait for whoever is there now to die, and make it hard for anyone else to move there. I just think it's always a good idea to consider what the unintended consequences might be.

. . . read later. . . Read the fine print! Just more landgrabs!

I hope you will read this article thoroughly. I'm interested in your questions and concerns, which is why I posted this.

You will note that landowners must apply for the PDR funds. No one was (is) compelled to participate. Many of these landowners believe the program is underfunded and progressing too slowly.

It isn't very encouraging that a google search for more information takes me to smartgrowth.org, and Sierra Club sites.

I don't believe those organizations have a corner on good ideas. What can we do with the PDR approach that works from a conservative's viewpoint? What changes make it work better for landowners?

Sure they are. In order to support additional housing development, you need additional people. Without immigration, the population of the U.S. is essentially static.

Which landowners? Are "the landowners" the specific landowners in the article, or The Landowners, being a subset of We the People?
