> The Continental U.S. (i.e. lower 48) has about 1.9 Billion acres and the vast majority is undeveloped as only 69.4 million acres, or about 3.6% is urban.

It probably is a good thing that 6M acres are land-locked...

if you had read it, it is public land that is inaccessable by the public.

That is what I was thinking, the title was pretty clear and it is a good thing (if anything, probably a larger portion of the land should stay pristine).

It's not pristine. Private owners who lock it in use the land

They need to be prosecuted if they don't let the public use public land. How is that even a question...

But for the record, I think that land-locked public land should be off-limit to anyone (aka, stay pristine).

For what? They can use it as it's public.

Prosecuted for using public land?
