Actually, the government controls all the land in the U.S.A. If you don't believe me, stop paying your property taxes and plant some marijuana in your back yard and see what happens.

Report on Government-owned Land in U.S. Reveals Surprising Stats -- May 6, 2004 -- California Capitol Hill Bulletin -- Volume 11, Bulletin 15

Based on data provided by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the Republican Study Conference recently issued a report on the amount of land and buildings owned by the federal government. It revealed that "almost three-in-ten acres in the United States are owned by the federal government," with the government sometimes owning more than half of the land in some states.  In California, nearly half of land area is owned by the federal government.

Other key findings of the report show, as of September 30, 2003, 29.6% of all land in the U.S. was owned by the federal government, with total acreage of 671,759,297.7. Some of the states with the largest percentage of federal land ownership were:

1.) Nevada: 91.9% 5.) Wyoming: 50.6% 9.) Colorado: 34.9%

2.) Alaska: 66.7% 6.) Arizona: 50.2% 10.) New Mexico: 34.1%

3.) Utah: 66.5% 7.) Oregon: 49.7% 11.) Montana: 31.3%

4.) Idaho: 66.4% 8.) California: 46.9% 12.) Washington: 31.0%

The District of Columbia has only 26.3% of its land owned by the federal government although it was established as the federal city.

The report also detailed the location of federal land by region: West: 55.5%; Alaska and Hawaii: 36.4%; North Central: 2.9%; South Central: 2.9%; South Atlantic and DC: 2.2%; and Northeast: 0.2%. The RSC study also points out that only 2.4% of federal land is used for military purposes.

For buildings owned by the federal government, as of September 30, 2003 the RSC reported:

-Buildings owned in U.S. by the federal government - 432,791

-Number of square feet of office space within owned buildings - 3.03 billion

-Number of buildings leased by the federal government - 42,246

-Number of square feet of office space in leased buildings - 333.8 million

The report found that about one-fifth of the buildings owned and leased by the government are used for housing.

The General Services Administration published the data entitled "Overview of the United States Government: Federal Real Property Profile as of September 30, 2003." For more information about the article, please visit http://www.gsa.gov .

Here's some more information.

Government Owned Land in the USA and Canada



Government Owned Land in the USA and Canada

Introduction

The tables on this page give the percentage of land in each American state and each Canadian province and territory owned by the American Federal Government and the Government of Canada. In the USA such land is called Government Owned Land or Federal Land.

See also Public Lands.

These figures almost certainly include National Parks and other National Park Service areas (the National Monuments, etc), National Forests, National Wildlife Refuges and BLM lands. It is not known if land occupied by Interstate Highways and US Highways is included.

The figures exclude land owned by each state, province or territory, such as state and provincial parks. Land owned by counties, cities and towns is also excluded.

After the Kelo v. City of New London ruling by the Supreme Court, pretty much every piece of land in the US is controlled by the government - we are just paying rent on it until somebody else comes along that can pay a higher rent.

Bitterness aside, are you talking about state/local land as well?
