💨 Abstract

Congressional Republicans plan to sell about 460,000 acres of federal land in Nevada and Utah to generate revenue and accommodate urban growth. The proposal, part of a larger tax cut package, aims to alleviate housing and infrastructure pressures in Western cities. However, critics, including Democrats, conservationists, and some Republicans, express concerns that the plan could be a giveaway to developers and miners, fail to address housing crises, and set a precedent for broader land sales.
