Hardly. It seems like some of the land may be owned by the state or a wealthy non profit, presumably created to protect the land from development. There is no urgent need to borrow money to buy this land right now. No one can claim that these lands are in imminent danger. Further, this legislation does not protect the rights of private property owners. (03:50–03:56)
