These are publically owned lands for the public to enjoy. We're hearing rumours, here locally, that several real-estate companies wish to buy up parcels for luxury housing. Combine that with the various commercial mineral extraction interests and you've got millions of acres of pristine wilderness now available to the highest bidder! Thanks Don! Got to say my only link would be from watching cowboy films as a child! Looks like the natural sets will be whored out to the highest bidder to be ruined like the sprawl around the pyramids in Egypt. When will the first Trumpski brand golf course go in I wonder. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Walt Longmire wouldn't stand for any of that! In all seriousness, I saw the headline yesterday and seeing Utah mentioned thought of Chris from THL. My understanding is that it's another 'undo what Obama did' jobby, in addition to the money side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 130 miles from Grand Staircase and 350 miles from Bears Ears respectively, so in the geographical expanse that is the United States, this is practically on my doorstep. As I said earlier in the thread the four native tribes have been campaigning for eight decades to have this land turned into a monument as it's part of their ancestral land and their sacred traditions. Don is a real estate mogul. Would our GT panel agree that Don wouldn't touch this investment with a barge-pole? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We see quite a few of these on local truck bumpers! Even our local Republican voters aren't thrilled with this decision which says a lot in a little over 12 months. Undoing things seems to be the only thing actually being done. Edited December 5, 2017 by ChrisJones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're areas of land that have scientific or historical significance or deemed necessary for protection. National parks are generally conservation areas and act as snapshots of the American wilderness as it has stood for millennia without development.

Either you reduce big government and its ownership of land across the country Or You don't What are the arguments for more land being owned by the federal government?
