[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is talking about how amazingly stupid Vance’s idea of selling federal land to developers to reduce housing prices. Almost all the unclaimed federal land is in a national park, national forest, desert, swamp, mountains, or other inhabitable place in the middle of nowhere. Houses are already cheap in the middle of nowhere. The housing crisis is in the cities and suburbs where the jobs are and where people want to live. There is no available federal lands in major cities. A bunch of states, including his state of Ohio, have almost no federal lands at all. How can Vance combine his cockiness with total ignorance of the topic at hand? [/quote]

I did comment on that in real time, suggesting that perhaps folks would like a house in the arid Tonto National Forest, which has open uranium mines.  Or maybe up in Boundary Waters on the Canadian border, where they can portage their groceries home.  Or perhaps on one of the many SuperFund sites owned by the federal government.

I thought Walz had about half of the answer to that -- he made the comment about how there's no federal land outside Minneapolis, which is where people want to live.  I think Walz should have tried to make fewer points in response and just really hit home on the ones he did.  He said like 10 words on this, whereas if he had said 50 words, he could have made Vance look very foolish.[/quote]
