Public lands access clashes with private property rights as Wilkses lock up land

- As Texas billionaires Dan and Farris Wilks buy up hundreds of square miles of private forest land in Idaho, they are blocking off roads on their property that connect to vast swaths of public land. And that has many who have historically used those roads
These roads are gazetted roads and therefore cannot be turned into private roads
If the road is NOT part of their property, they cannot block it. If it is part of their property the county and state need to provide other access options.
When I was looking for a house, I was shown properties that were accessed by a private road. When I asked who owned the road and was told it was someone else but, “It’s OK, they let all the property owners use it”, I passed. There is no way I was paying for a house without a legal right to access it. This situation stinks, but they are the owners. The government should have purchased the road or legal access rights from the previous owners, if they wanted perpetual access. If the government really did pay to build or maintain the road, they should have insisted on that as a condition. Hold your government accountable.
Dont build public roads on private property without compensation. This is 100% on the county.
Maybe if ppl weren't idiots that trashed every land they walk on, the Wilks wouldn't have to take such measures
What part of private don’t these people understand?
They're just not willing to take the risk of being responsible for other people on their property
NO public land access has been denied to anyone...they just can't trespass to go there via private property.
If it’s a Forest service road as she said . The new owners have no rights to stop people from using the road , since the road would belong to the US Forest Service .
They bought the land and are selling the roads back to the county lol
So who gets sued if someone gets injured or killed on these roads ? The city , the county or the owners of the property ? What part of private property do these people not understand ?
The previous owner allowed the public access to some parts of this land that does not make it public property. Its private property period end he could do what he wants with it also keeping the public off of his land avoids lawsuits
Easy to fix, buy private land along the roads leading to their property, then close the roads there and don't allow them access across your property to get to theirs.
Well when you legally sell the land. You legally give the land owners the right to use the land as they see fit. Or to limit access to the land as they see fit
Pretty simple limit amount of land that one can buy. Same with corporations, no one needs more than 10,000 acres. That amount of land is 16 square miles.
Feel the circle of life .. you are feeling the power of abuse and what natives lived ..
Did I miss something . . . isn't it PRIVATE LAND?
In my area, there's part of a national park that is located at the end of a peninsula behind a private community. There is one public road that runs through to the end. However, there have been some problems with visitors trying to get through to the park.
If you buy property that's land locked this happens. You can't cut threw someone's property unless there's a right of way.
Imagine if you can buy all the land surrounding their land. They would have to sell their land at a bargain price. Two billionaires clashing, that would be a fun game of property wars.
