Trump doesn’t give a shit about housing prices he just needed something to say to answer the question when asked that sounded legit enough to convince people who don’t know anything that it was a possible solution.
I wonder how much of that land is still irradiated from all the nuclear testing done in the 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s.
When he said that I was immediately time travelled to junior high debate class. It’s such a juvenile thing to say!
The Trumps were real-estate grifters before anything else.
This is the opening salvo for developing those few choice pieces of federal land that are habitable and profitable. Donald himself probably has no idea of geography beyond the five-borough area but if makes money for his “contributors” then it’s his goodliest idea for a bigliest thing.
Say goodbye to the wilderness.
I can’t wait to see some real estate agent mountaineering his clients up the side of the grand tetons or Rocky mountains to look at a one room wide house with a sheer dropoff for a yard.
I have driven by a lot of that Nevada land, there is a reason it is empty.
maybe captain dipshit is going to move everyone to the west. maga MORON.
Most of that land is useless and undesirable.
Wait, is that everglade national park he wants to build on? JFC.
And in the extreme rare possibility that they did build, it’s a pretty long commute to any employer. Unless they’re going to supply that too.
uhhh most of that in AZ isn’t even US land. That’s tribal land.
Let’s see desert swamps tundra mountaintops middle-of-nowhere’s yep seems like perfect places to live for average working class adults /s
If people would like to know what it would be like to live in much of that area as well… they should look into Fallout: New Vegas, turn survival mode on, and then walk out into the middle of the Mojave and hang out there.
SO MUCH of that land is unusable, not near any major cities, HOT in the summer and COLD in the winter and no real natural sources of water.
The rest of that is going to be pretty much giant empty fields.
It’s SO STUPID to think they’re just going to plop a buncha houses down over there. There’s no major rivers except the ones that are already desperately needed elsewhere, there’s no infrastructure, no roads. It’s just empty land. It would require billions, if not trillions of dollars to get that region set up for much of anything.
Fuckin’ dumb plan by a fuckin’ dumb man.
Starting at the front range in CO hahahahahahahahha. Yeah everyone wants to live an hour+ from the nearest grocery store in 3’ deep snow.
Hilarious because I’m sure plenty of it is tribal land or literally without water
Can’t wait for my new house in (checks map) Death Valley!
That plan is gonna do shit for anyone. All that land is federal parks and shit for a reason: no one *wants* to live there.
Best part is if you look at the 5th National Climate Assessment those are places that are going to be a hot fucking mess due to climate change within about 25 years (along with almost all of the south coast and Florida).
By the time you’d get a city built in the VAST majority of those areas there wouldn’t be water to support it and the summers would be too hot.
Fucking Glacier national park and alligator alley in there. It gets better the longer I look at it.
Opening up federal land to be built on won’t help housing but a whole lot of rich people can now build second homes in beautiful spaces…
Gonna build houses in the swamps of degoba (I mean Florida).
Keep public land in public hands!
It was only ever the concept of a plan. Republicans can’t solve real problems, only the ones they make up, with made up solutions like immigrants, “increasing” crime rates, and “election security”
Federal land is kind of useless for housing since it’s generally remote with no jobs nearby.
Building housing in the middle of the Nevada desert would be pointless. It’s not like the BLM won’t sell it or lease it to anyone who asks.
Yeah he’s gonna do a second Trail of Tears and land a bunch of people in barely inhabitable lands.
I loved when Vance dodged the tariff question and then proceeded to say when trucking got more expensive those costs would be passed on to the consumer. Wish Walz had pounced on that, but when it’s 100% projection and hypocrisy, I see how it might be hard to keep up.
I don’t like trump but he can develop Sierra Nevada. Just don’t ask me to move there.
So, state parks & federally protected land mostly
There’s a reason why no one lives in those spots already, like most of it in not practical for a town to exist (or there would be population centers there already- note cities developed when and where in the west where most of that land is) plus the closest employment/economic centers are how far away? Talk about untethered from reality 😕
I would have no problems on housing on Federal lands in Utah,Nevada, Nebraska, the Dakotas and Wyoming, IF it helps make those states go Blue.
But, this is a ploy to grab the lands for developers to build golf course style housing for the rich. Less beauty and water for us.
He at least knows his audience isn’t the type to dig under the surface of what he says.
Goodbye, national parks.
Arrowhead country in MN is nice but it’s pretty swampy.
Iowa said “fuck ya’ll’s federal land, we’ve got corn to grow”
Or people that work in, you know, cities
For the most part, federal land is uninhabitable. That’s why there are not already cities there ya dingus.
building on federal land is such an evil thing to suggest.
Hmm. My house is on top of the Rockies… what could go wrong?
Remember in 2016 when those right wing fuck nuggets took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in rural Oregon? Amon Bundy and his bitch band of followers were in their SECOND ARMED STANDOFF about how the federal government doesn’t have the authority to manage federal lands.
How will these dickrakes feel about their supreme leader using “their” precious land to solve the housing problem?
Yep, enjoy your new offgrid homestead without water.
Let’s build houses on the places they dropped atomic bombs. It’ll be radiant.
I think when he says housing, he means the FEMA camps that they’ve been fear mongering since the days of Obama
Looks like T-Mobile coverage map

Wdym, you don’t want to live in Alaska or Death Valley. Entitled Muricans smh.
>Anyone look up where the all this federal land is, that Trump wants to build houses at
Federal land is not necessarily near where people need it to be for housing.
Ya know who would LOVE a house at the edge of a national park?
Multimillionaires and billionaires who need a 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th megamansion. Also, Air B&B or Vrbo-type rentals.
They can afford funding the infrastructure to the edge of the national park. Wouldn’t it be great if the federal government subsidized the building of their dream vacation home??? /s
Those groups listed can also afford to “work from home” or even just be on vacation for a month.
I can’t think of anyone I know for whom a national park home would be a workable deal…but then again, I don’t runaround with multimillionaire and billionaires.
This is another Republican plan that only benefits the 1%.
TBH, the Democrats need to ~~take a stand~~ grow a spine and forbid corporations from owning more than 10 single family homes, INCLUDING mobile homes/trailers, townhouses, and condos.
(Close this Loophole before it opens: Corporations that own homes cannot be owned by other corporations or own other corporations. We’re not gonna play that game of shell companies breaking the law).
Also, mobile home courts need to be regulated so the rent doesn’t exceed inflation. If new management needs to raise it beyond that (for example, to upgrade the pool), hold a vote of all tenants.
To me, building more houses without banning corporate ownership of housing stock is only subsidizing cheaper homes for corporations to own.

Nevada is 85 percent federally owned.
