But we already have a process in place for land that's near cities or needs to be developed.
So I don't... I would like to see the map.
You know, one person could speculate.
There's this whole corner crossing fight happening in the West right now.
And are you familiar with the concept of corner crossing?
No.
As we were developing the West, one of the ways we paid for the railroads was to give them land.
What that ended up with is land that looks like an actual checkerboard.
So there'll be a chunk of land here that is privately owned and then a chunk of public and so on and so forth.
And it builds this checkerboard looking pattern.
Some states were trying to block sportsmen and others from crossing over the corner between those two chunks of land.
And the landowner was saying, essentially, you're violating my airspace by doing that.
In some states, I think you own about 200 feet of the air above your house, which is probably a good thing.
It should be illegal to fly a drone over my house, right?
But that's not really what you're doing.
You're crossing, I guess half of your body or something is crossing it.
So that fight is going on and it looks like sportsmen are gonna have a big win on this thing.
And I imagine that the landowners who own those sections that have been trying to keep people out are not very happy about this potential win for the common man.
So that's one person who, or one group
type of people that I would say stands to benefit from this a lot, then they can just swoop up those sections that are locked in between their land.
