Unlike the homesteading acts, It doesn’t sound like there is any restriction on what can be built. Considering the fact that our board of supervisors happily rubber stamp nearly all CUP applications for commercial use in the 3rd district from speculators and developers, and they stand to lose millions in federal funds if this passes, then yes I can hazard a guess who will be the winners in this. There is a 5 acre BLM parcel next to my property in Landers that would be perfect for housing, all it needs is a water and electric connection, and septic. If the government took a scalpel approach instead of a chainsaw, there is some land that is appropriate for privatizing and residential building. The current administrations, both on the county and federal level give me little hope that they will do it the right way. If infrastructure doesn’t support a resort, it will certainly support “clean energy” projects, like solar and geothermal plants. And mining out in the vaster areas. A strip mine is already seeking approval in a former mining district next to the Mojave Preserve. You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.
