You don’t need to develop land to protect it, farmers use fences, it lets people know like hunters to not use their land. You also kinda need a presence, or even your neighbor will use your l as if they notice you’re never there….
You know what lets people know it's your land? A map. Also, county records.
You know how hunters know not to use your land? They don't own it and didn't get permission.
Seriously, have you never met a hunter before? They're not a bunch of morons. They don't want to get fined or arrested or, worse, shot for trespassing.
Also, this is utter nonsense:
The houses on either side of mine are empty. One was foreclosed on, the other's owner died and no one has taken over the house. I wish someone would use their land. At least the grass would get mowed.
There are entire towns that are virtually empty. They don't have people just come in and start illegally developing land and no one cares.
Holy shit I'm glad you're not my neighbor. With your understanding in place I'd go out of town for work and come back to you building a palace for your erotic Lego Luigi sculptures on my porch.
He sounds like a Zio settler. “This property wasn’t used (for 60 seconds), I guess it’s up for grabs. It’s mine now. Fuck you, you should’ve used it.”
