A lawyer I knew in South Carolina was setting up a legal mechanisms so people could preserve whatever land they purchased for its present purpose in perpetuity. People were buying, for example, farms or forest in poor areas and making it impossible to ever use the land for a different purpose. In practice wealthy people who sometimes didn’t even live there were condemning those impoverished counties to perpetual poverty.

There is already too much land locked away in the “King’s Reserves”.

I’ve looked at property in Indiana and Ohio with the same type of lockouts - of course I specifically told the agents trying to sell exactly why I would never buy property that would not be 100% mine.

One of them got their panties in a bunch and asked why I would want to do anything...ummm because I might want to build a house on it and live there? The shocked look on her face after that was excellent.

I’m convinced a lot of this is just an attempt to drive more folks into the city where they can’t be self sufficient.
