I'd like it better if they were required to allow public access. The public is paying for this land in lost taxes, we should be able to use it.

- oogali 7y agoI agree, however I think a balance needs to be struck between liability and groundskeeping, as those are currently the costs that all municipalities cover for their public parks. Something along the lines of retaining some or most of the tax benefits for the private owner, in exchange for the municipality covering grounds maintenance, and a split between both parties for the liability insurance. I think that’d be the start of the US developing its own “Freedom to Roam” implementation.
