Senate vote public lands sale

[go_deep]

I sent my email.

There's really no where that can't build up, that eliminates most outward expansion issues.

The opposing party has given Mike Lee slow fast ball after slow fast ball over the center of the plate for a few years now. His social media shows just how easy it is for him to dunk on the opposition on virtually every other issue other than PLT. Immigration is a perfect example. All he has to do is not talk about PLT then because the majority of people in places other than a few western states barely even know western public land exists much less the difference between BLM, national forest, and the intricacies of selling. So as much as people here like to rag on him, his social media gets way more positive engagement than any conservation or hunting influencer talking about PLT. Those are the facts whether people here want to acknowledge them or not. And thats not me endorsing him.

I get it man “based” mit lee has set himself up as some conservative champion, he goes after illegals easy low hanging fruit but he would import unlimited H-1B workers to suppress American wages and then build them homes all on our wintering ground, people need to figure out that he isn’t really some champion for the working man, now builders and tech business owners sure he champions them pretty well

I'm not sure how to address just how profoundly stupid this marxist argument is, other than to say it's about at the level as saying you don't deserve to hunt if you moved to the "inhospitable lands" of a city.

Water issues are a different matter, and I'd be more inclined to hear an anti-growth argument based on that, but the reality of creating a hospitable environment for people to raise families without the "inhospitable" burdens of 50% housing costs means we need to make housing as cheap as possible through releasing the market, not restricting it.

Deport the 30-50 million illegals that are occupying our country and the housing crisis is solved instantly…

Please keep reaching out to your congressional delegates, particularly if your state has R senators.

 

[Ozarkansas]

The reply from Steve Womack (my representative). Still no word from either senators.

Called Daines and Sheehy. No one answered (alert the press). Left messages saying if either vote for a budget bill calling for PLT in any western state I'll vote for whoever opposes both in the next relevant primary and/or general elections.

So I see this as a problem on more than 1 level....

Will this not drastically affect wintering grounds for elk, muledeer, etc? Those lower lands are likely more developable than other public lands.

Sounds as if when the "One Big Mar Lago Botox" bill heads back to congress, there's going to be a lot more scrutiny than the first time through. I know the suspension of the states ability to regulate AI for 10 years was a point of contingency for at least a hand full of R congressmen who didn't bother to fully read it the first time. Throw in issues with state and local taxes, Medicaid, SNAP, not to mention the significant spending increase. If this manages to get signed as a singular, intact bill in the senate, there's still another change in Congress.

What are you even talking about. Your TDS is off the charts these days.

What are you even talking about.

If the senate alters the bill enough, it will have to go back to congress for approval. Both the house and the senate have to pass the exact same bill. There are appears to be alterations in the Senate and growing dissent in the House over the pointed I listed above.


Would it be easier for you to comprehend if I spoke in incomplete sentences?

Public lands for sale in SENR budget reconciliation package

The bill mandates disposal of over 2 million acres of BLM and National Forest lands; Public lands eligible for sale in the bill encompass over 120 million acres, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas, inventoried roadless areas, critical wildlife habitat and big game migration...

Sent personal emails to Sen’s Crapo and Risch. I’m pretty sure Crapo came out months ago and said he is against land sales but I don’t know where Risch stands on the issue. Hopefully we can put a stop to this madness

I can't speak to the exact details of the bill, but it is pretty important and valid to note that there is more going on than just preserving hunting lands. Over 80% of Nevada is "owned" and controlled by the federal government, mostly BLM. Where this becomes a real and damaging problem is when Reno, Las Vegas, and a couple of other growing areas literally hit the edge of federal land and can't grow further. They are completely surrounded, like an island.

So housing gets vastly more expensive, and it becomes far more difficult for families.

Two identical houses in Texas and Nevada, in equally prosperous neighborhoods, could have a half-million dollar gap between their two prices. That's a reality. I don't want to be seeing chunks of wilderness sold to developers, but there's a lot of crap scrubland around Vegas and Reno that barely sustain jackrabbits. I'm 100% in favor of selling off limited runs of lands that border those cities once a decade or so, because to not do so really harms the quality of life of people living here.

I was born and raised in Reno in 1956. There should be a 1/2 million dollar gap between 2 identical houses in Nevada and Texas. I could hunt and fish on literally millions of acres of public land around Reno and in Nevada. Texas? Maybe wear a cowboy hat and shoot a deer under a feeder. Northern Nevada's big problem is getting the water for any more growth. I think they're tapped out.

The west is tapped out and that’s okay! We don’t need unlimited growth and expansion. We really don’t. We don’t need every western state to have a population that rivals places that actually have the water and infrastructure in place. Heck if we stopped with the unlimited migration legal and otherwise people will find out in about 5-10 years there are more than enough houses. Check out the demo’s for the boomer generation and all the generations after it’s an upside down pyramid

No one knows what your bluesky trump phases like One Big Mar Lago Botox or Taco Bonespur mean.

Some pretty nice hunting land involved in that map.

For this to help with affordable housing. The three areas that I know well, that all have large chunks of land slated for sale, it’s not going to help with housing buts it’s pretty good area for cabins….
