Americans have always defined their limit.
It began with huge, unexplored west, Which historian Frederick Jackson Turner described in an influential essay of 1893 as “New Field of Opportunity, the Restation Door of the Bond of Past.”
When Turner put a pen on paper, the limit was already closing. Space, “Final Frontier” to “Star Trek”, an animated American imagination for a while, but after an initial excitement about putting a man to the moon, the project seemed to have pulled Peter pulled out.
Hud is a “place intended for mission,” not political, “says Scott Turner Secretary
President Donald Trump promised in his second inaugural address to revive that dream, saying the crowd that “we would” persecute our manifest fate into the stars, launching US astronauts to plant stars and stripes on the planet Mars. ” Elon Musk, whose innovations in Spacex will help to make this dream reality, wildly cheered.
America has a lot of wide open spaces. But only 13% of the federal country is in national parks. File: Sky Valley, Georgia, Blue Valley Review, National National Forest Nantahala, Panoramic View, Mount Appalachian Blue Ridge. (Photo: Jeffrey Greenberg/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
But the space cannot be the limit the way it was the American west. In the 19th century, any solid guy from the east coast or the middle west could pack the wagon and light the territory. The household law of 1862 divided the 1.6 million federal plot of the Federal Land in the West. The space does not hold that promise for the Everyman. Astronauts are highly trained experts, not regular guys with common sense and good working ethics. A type of space colonization that would make the solar system a real border could be a century or more in the future.
However, there are other ways to revive the pioneering spirit. The acquisition of Greenland would open a sharp new environment for durable potential homes, but even if the Danes refuse to play the ball, Trump still has opportunities.
The US government owns about 620 million acres of land, which comes out to approximately 27% of the country. More than a third This country is on Alaska, With the rest, he mostly concentrated in several Western countries such as Arizona (38%of the Federal Land), Colorado (36%), Idaho (62%) and Nevada (80%). National parks consist of only about 13% of the federal country, leaving a plenty of opportunities for development.
Two of Trump’s cabinet secretaries are already in that case.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Secretary for Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner published on March 16 Wall Street Journal, suggesting a common effort Solve the US residential crisis.
“According to this agreement, HUD will determine where the needs for housing are the most emergency and conduct procedure by working with state and local leaders who know their communities best. The interior will identify locations that can support homes, carefully considering the environmental impact and limitations of land,” they wrote. “Working together, our agencies can drink a list of insufficiently used federal assets, transfer them or lease them to countries or sites to resolve the needs of residential buildings and support the infrastructure needed to develop sustainable – as long as it ensures that accessibility remains at the core of the mission.”

It is a kind of bold action that America needs after four years of Biden-Harris residential policy, which has suddenly increased the rent and costs of the medium price home more than double. In addition to several vague sounds around the construction of multiple houses, the only main solutions offered were to throw dollars of taxpayers in the first place for home customers (which would make housing inflation even worse), and a new regulation based on the race preferred a racial group compared to the other, and eventually helps neither.
They also sued Realpage, a company that produces lease prices (which will not affect prices, because the software only reflects existing market conditions and even suggests lower prices when demand falls). Americans for tax reform and over 30 conservative groups sent a letter against this lawsuit for justice Biden for this reason.

Unlike the past we have seen the past we have seen during the Biden administration, the possibilities of the Burgum and Turner’s residential plan are endless – and tempting. The Libertarians could find hyper-suiding charter cities operated by executive directors. Pious Catholics could build deliberate communities focused on monasteries. The crunchy housewives could grow everything they eat on several hectares (and get that land with discounts if they agree to host students from the new state of sustainable agriculture).
Ambitious young men (and women) who flooded cities would suddenly have other options except excessive rent and stagnation of small cities. In a start-up city on previously underdeveloped federal land, they could become fathers of founders (or mothers) and help the design of vibrant new communities in the midst of an imminent natural beauty. They could even be able to keep their old telecommunications jobs while they do.

And for the poor, desperate, former Konza, the decoration of a bad neighborhood or dying city faced with high chances of early death from shooting in Gangland or overdose of Fentanil, these new events reveal the promise of adventure. Anyone who is willing to work hard and brave enough to leave the familiar one can burn the territory and make a better life. Go west, young man and be born!
It is true that much of this country is embarrassed, but also Las Vegas, who increased with 800 people in 1910 to almost 600,000 years later. Imagine: in a few short decades, a great new American city that comes out of the desert or a praise, which boasts its own industry, art scene, dishes with signature and iconic sights – their own unique cultural “brand”. It will be a challenge, but we are a nation for colonizing Mars. Surely, we can handle rural idhah.
