I will read that. I noticed the Forest Service emblem on the page. My dad worked for the Forest Service. He just told me this weekend that the federal government owns 72% of the land in California. I was shocked that it was that high. I knew it was over 50%.

I think Nevada is in the 80% range owned by the federal government.

Whatever the Federal government doesn't own, the state does-including the land your house is on. Even if your mortgage is paid off, you still have to pay property taxes (rent) to the state. If you don't pay, they will foreclose(evict you). Owning your own home in the US is a myth these days.
