Feeling that you own the land you legally own doesn't seem that bad. Especially if your family has owned it for generations. And it's definitely not NIMBY-ism.

- jcranmer 4y agoI should note that, in the western US, a lot of the land use fights are over things like ranching land, where the users of the land don't own the land (it's BLM land--owned by the US government).
- BurningFrog 4y agoThat's a separate, but also very interesting issue, that is almost entirely unknown to us big city people. I think Indian Reservations have similar issues. They're "sovereign nations" in some sense, but the land is often owned by the US Federal Government, who doesn't like anyone doing things to it.
