Haha...I LOVE Flagstaff. It was on my short list of Gulch go-to locations when I left Commiefornia.

I have family in Phoenix. Nice to visit in winter, but I'm not a desert person. Flagstaff is nice, too, but its winters are as bad as here on the southern shore of Lake Ontario.

Please let me know what you can determine re: the land program. ;^)

I love northern NV. Love it! I’m in Phoenix for work and can’t wait to get home.

I’ll report back.

Trout in the stream?

Sounds like you have a personal piece of paradise! I'll tip a beer to you, for sure. As for the Chinese, let them pay the taxes on the land (to keep your taxes low), but if they get uppity or use the land for any spy crap then give them the boot! I also believe if the US and China ever go head to head their ownership of US soil doesn't mean squat.

The federal government should never have been allowed to keep all this land when the western states were admitted to the union.

It's a good thing they're being privatized. But it's not a good thing it's being done in a way that will play into the hands of people like Bill Gates who want to monopolize agriculture and prevent you and me from doing it on smaller parcels. Family farms need to be here to stay, and Trump needs to keep his promises to stop state and local governments from persecuting the Amish.

500 acres of grazing land with a fresh water stream not too far from a year round road?
Do you know the process for due diligence and offer?

I was thinking that too. Very good Gulch land in there. It'd be a blessing if that'd be possible...

That's a very good point. I was curious about this and did read into it. Seems that much of this land is supposed to be set up for "quarterly lease" which is applicable toward oil drilling. This is just the coverage of the bill I could find, which could be false. Trust me...My first thought is, I'd love 100 acres of this land by a little mountain lake somewhere. And that's my double-standard: If I can buy in, maybe it's not so bad. That's why I use the "carbon credits" reference. I really doubt I'll get a single acre out of this, even with cash in hand. The region where I live is likely the most Federally-owned land in the nation. I gotta admit...I've enjoyed it because I can drive out in it with my guns and targets and a little beer and lunch on ice and have a fantastic time. Imagine that! Haha.... I have been told that much of the land around here is owned by China. We should never allow that and should take it away from them, IMO.

Two edged sword here as it can cut both ways. As I understand it most of us here in the Gulch are (were?) against the government sucking up the land away from private ownership and such land should be sold off to the citizenry. Now I'm seeing the land should be retained by the government to prevent certain actors from buying/controlling it. No win here. I suppose restrictions can be placed on who's allowed to buy it.

That the GAO are lying about the increase in debt. They have been wrong about all their previous forecasts and are MSM darlings. I suggest quit watching the propaganda MSM or the RINO’s.

Perhaps look at this as a Gulch opportunity, Abaco.
Could some of this land actually be 'private property' and not 'real estate' which is subject to taxation?

Sell all this open land AND saddle my kinds with another $3T in debt. What am I missing?
