Land in Nevada

From "Welcome to The Nevada Forum!"

Go to the project

When the federal government tried to release federal land in Nevada everyone fought this trying to make it impossible to do so. The problem is 90% of Nevada is federal land and unattainable to the normal person. Rent has sky rocketed and pushed everyone to become slaves in the state that bought their house since 2020. In all this is a complete fail on our local governement. Not only do they buy gas from California who charges a premium tax on environment safe fuel.(let’s be real.) no fuel is safe for the environment. Or even good. But they allowed Tesla to move here and didn’t have any plan what so ever to keep the cost of living down in the state knowing that they were creating a boom and no building going on. I hate to say this. But this was the democrat officials being elected. No plan for the future. We need land and building for normal people. And we need to here a plan about fuel prices now that California is loosing there refinery’s. This was a great place to live prior to 2014. And since then it has gone no where but down hill. Better paying jobs means nothing when cost of living goes up. People need to wake up. We need to come together against all government and vote the way our lives depend on it. No more raised taxes! No more no land. Their can be a plan. We just need to make it happen.

Personally I prefer to NOT open up Federal Lands. Northern Nevada is mostly Cattle Ranchers and grazing lands are important to ranching. Besides we feel the people moving into Nevada, esp from California, is Why the cost of living has risen. Southern Nevada is a completely different area and lifestyle. No. Nevada likes the way we are. Politics will be our downfall. We will always be Conservative up North.

@Lorraine J. For the most part I agree with your statement, except the part about not opening federal lands. You did not provide a reason for your opinion. First off, state has no control over federal lands. Secondly, if you live up north, how would opening up federal lands affect you? Thirdly, the federal lands down here are all desert land. The cost of getting water to these lands will be huge - something/someone would have to subsidize this cost. But opening a few hundred hectres isn't going to damage the land in the long run. Proper and knowlgable project managers would have to ensue the right land is open for development. Proper planning is the solution.

@Lorraine J. Speak for yourself. We could use a couple more things up this way (at least in Ely). I'm not asking for a Mega City One, but having some more things up here won't have hardly any effect on ranching. That's seriously ridiculous to say. I guess nevermind on having some good paying jobs and making the housing market better. The prices that people ask for some of these dumps around here are insane. "Oh, we want our economy to be better, but don't bring in the things that make our economy better". I'm not against ranching and farming, it's the backbone of this country, but I'm also not against a little bit of growth. We seriously have to be sick and tired of living off of grants. Why not implement something that puts some money in the bank?
