it's not of use so they sell it off . if they can't make money on it they don't want it. it' should be the people's choice if the state sells the land we pay for not them. they don't pay for it we do.

the part that gets me is they keep mineral rights. so if ya found by chance gold - diamonds- silver or other minerals of value they'll have every right to take it from you. thats bull. if your paying for the land you should be allowed to keep anything you find on it.
