How The Feds Got All That Western Land (and Why It’s a Problem)

“It should be no concern of people in Washington, DC — 3,000 miles away  — as to how a handful of ranchers want to use a tiny corner of land in rural Oregon. Similarly, taxpayers in, say, Ohio (a net taxpayer state) should not be paying to mitigate the effects of overgrazing by ranchers in Oregon, or to build their water projects.  There are, of course, many legal and constitutional obstacles to decentralizing land ownership, but the political obstacles are numerous as well.  The perennial conflicts in the West over land seizures by environmentalists, regulatory battles, micromanagement, and overgrazing all illustrate how much of a failure the federal land ownership scheme has been.”
