If I own the forested land and I want to build there, I should be able to.
Or we should be honest about property ownership in the US: if I have to beg permission from someone calling themselves an "authority", I don't actually own it.

That's where we disagree, as I think that the greater societal good is to not let people build houses that might burn at a moment's notice because of forest fire (as was the case with the Paradise town in CA). This would be similar to how in my country you are not allowed to build an apartment building that doesn't respect some earthquake-resistance rules.
