Discussion Issue:
   Sale and Development of Public Lands

Facts, factoids, concerns, considerations: Ron Sims, when he was King County (WA) Executive, sold of County-owned part-and-rides to developers of (intended to be) low-income housing.  [1] - . This is a "fully predictable result" of ...
The PRO's: We need to shrink the size of government. The government budgets are putting a strain upon the ability to raise tax revenue. Besides, nobody likes to pay taxes. This is an opportunity for lowering, not raising taxes. The developers help fund the political machines which make our government work. The pirate developers will have an opportunity to make a great deal of money which they will use to create jobs.
Liberal concerns: The land belongs to the people.  Private interests would over-develop it to the detriment of the environment. Tax payers would subsequent have to pick up the tab for the resulting demand-load on infrastructure (roads, police and fire protection, etc.).	Conservative concerns: Private enterprise can do a better job than the government. Private enterprise (with a profit motive) is always more efficient than a cost-managed government bureaucracy.
The CON's: Like selling the North Pole (movie) If this continues, the results are fully predictable. It is an unsustainable economic situation.
Questions: What would be a fair solution? What would King Solomon have done? What would John Galt have done?
