You could say the same thing about any private property. There probably needs to be a balance, though.
I hqve no issues about private property. I own a little land myself, and have permission to hunt several thousand acres of private land, which i do not take for granted. But i mainly hunt and recreate on public land. The thought of an entire state, the biggest in the lower 48 in fact, comprised almost entirely of private land... it just seems unamerican to me. No freedom to roam there.
Well, freedom to own and freedom to roam come at odds, don't they? Which one is most central to the identity of America?
I agree that Texas is unbalanced. And, in fact, that very state of affairs is probably how Houston and Dallas became so giga-cucked. It was too easy to turn oil into more ownership, and more ownership into de-factor political control.
That's why I fear what Bezos and Gates are doing. Texas has a specific problem in this regards, and they are exploiting our greatest weakness with utter recklessness.
