>>2517048>>2517049The Euronog is right, though. Thanks to our beginnings as a colony and the resultant homesteader land-parceling, railroads and checkerboarding, tycoons, land grabs, and delusions that every man is a king in his castle, every stick of non-public land is owned by some random Cletus who'll be made a hero for shooting you if you trespass on his property.
Even within large tracts of public land, parcels here and there are often privately owned by rich guys or have been sliced into tiny little postage-stamp parcels for the common folk to build shitty little cabins on.
In Europe, yes, (((they))) own everything, but it's been this way for centuries and so laws exist allowing peasants (that's you and me) to cross farmers' fields, lords' estate lands, homesteads, really almost anywhere. Too bad the rigidly-structured hierarchical society that allowed that system to develop has eroded away into nothing.
