Not sure this is the right forum but thought I'd ask others if their seeing what I'm seeing regarding the sale off of our public lands in Utah. I have oxmaps as I'm sure many of you do. Over the past few years, I'm constantly seeing more and more private land pop up in onx across areas the have long been pubic lands. It's very concerning. From what I'm seeing it's happening at an alarming rate?

It's the stated goal of people like Mike Lee, Phil Lyman, and Spencer Cox as well as your elected Republican State Legislators to sell our public land.
It's literally in the Utah Transfer of Public Lands Act, which they passed. The bank account is already established to hold the proceeds from the sale of public land. It's not conjecture, it's the law. Disregard their tweets and read the laws they write, pass, and sign.
Once public land is gone, we'll never get it back.
EDIT: Spencer Cox received over $1,500,000 in donations since 2021 from real estate interests.

Some of it we don’t have anyways, public land sales should be judged on each sale and its individual merits, not blanket statements.
Giving millions of acres to the natives in Alaska by the current administration is a travesty in comparison..

The lack of private lands will only cause the continuing skyrocketing cost of housing in Utah. Which is already pricing out our children from ever affording a home in urban Utah but at least we have millions apon millions of acres that 99 percent of residents will never set foot on.

Please show me an area of public land sold which makes homes more affordable. Its only lining the pockets of the rich and politicians who pass laws allowing the sales.
