What land could the feds sell?

The federal government owns a huge chunk of Southern California. Could selling some of it ease the housing cost crisis?

What federally owned land could be sold off to meaningfully lower housing costs?

For example, Los Angeles County is by far the most populated county in the U.S. with almost ten million residents. And it has very high land costs.

Either 34% or 45% of Los Angeles County is owned by the federal government, depending on which AI’s hallucination you trust.

So all we have to do is just build things, right?

Paywall here.
