The Government has no business owning most of that land anyway. The frontier should never have been closed.

All land except military bases and National Parks should be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Why not auction National Parks? Why should the government hold a monopoly in the land entertainment business? It causes prime assets to be both overused and underinvested, while preventing anyone from going into a competing use because of civic price suppression. That devalues all land for its natural value and helps set it up for development.

Aye-men bro!

When the FedGov owns the property, nobody pays any taxes on it, making ours higher.

Even if your concerned about the enivornment,
the lands could sold off with contracts
to cover any valid environmental concerns.

The federal government should not own nearly
half the land in this country.
