While a lot of BLM land is uninhabited, it is not all like that and not necessarily intended that way either. For example, the entirety of California's coastline is BLM land.
The BLM simply functions as the kitchen sink of land management at the federal level, catching everything that is not explicitly assigned to other agencies.
- jeffbee 6y agoThis is a very misleading statement. The area off the coast of California constitutes the California Coastal National Monument. The actual land mass involved there is a mere 8800 acres and nobody lives there. The other national monuments in California add up to 2.5 million acres. BLM's total holdings in California are about 15 million acres, of the state's 105 million acres. Most of what the BLM holds aside from national monuments are grazing lands that they lease out.
