spin off the national parks -- I'd pay a subscription -- and sell most of the gov land. Certainly valuable property in downtown DC that should be on the market

I wonder what the real subscription cost would be like. Some of the parks are spendy to enter.

I'm sure how reflective current entrance fees are of plausible market rates.

In a lightly maintained park that has no alternative commercial uses, I imagine fees could be very low.

If the land has other uses, then you need to outbid all of them to keep it a park.

Reducing the federal real estate footprint is actually a big priority for this administration but it’s not getting as much attention as the other stuff.
