I don't consider national forests true public property because of entry fees, scheduling camp grounds, restrictions on activity, and length of time you can be there. Also, remoteness is an issue. I really like the idea of slab city, and have talked to some people who have been there. I haven't been myself. I also love the idea of the Kowloon walled city and the tower of David as models for a public space without top down control.

I thought there were places where you could just drive or hike in and camp for up to three nights? FWIW, w/o restrictions you would have folks living there permanently. (I know because I totally would.) I guess the frontier really is closed, eh? - - - - I saw a BBC documentary on Kowloon and it scared the shit out of me, FWIW. - - - - Anyhow, Christopher Alexander's "Living Neighborhoods" made me realize that what I really want is a lively healthy living neighborhood. https://www.livingneighborhoods.org/ht-0/bln-exp.htm https://www.livingneighborhoods.org/ht-0/bln-exp.htm See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village_Homes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village_Homes
