Feds have 640 acres of land. But I think a lot of it is either arid, national parks, or not settled for a reason.

If you do that, and then hit them with property tax on land that they can't farm and has no improvements, have you done them any favors?

My daughter says it's the idea, not the amount. This could well squash that idea.
