I'm saying that excluding deferment is a disadvantage of the system .........only if you value deferment, and only if it's applied in an area where you feel that deferment is advantageous...and only if you judge the system on the metrics of "does it include deferment".

Quote:For a variety of reasons - like none of the proposals guaranteeing results or all off them being unpopular moves or the funds being reserved - though not necessarily used - for a project that may never get off the drawing board.Sounds like inefficient (and potentially corrupt) administration.
Quote:Under the current scenario, government does have the option of simply saving it.Sure, but we don't have to grant that option - as it's not necessary to a priority system
Quote:Its debatable whether we all did agree to it. Especially since a lot of private companies are constantly lobbying for developing those lands.Oh I know..and wouldn't it just be hilarious if those same lobbyists could not participate as there was nothing to leverage/no room in the system. Lobbysists are no more a problem for priority use than they are for ownership. If we don;t want them, we boot them.
Quote:A simple reason being one of the lesser known responsibilities of the government - to make sure that atleast some resources are left for the future generations to use.Reserving land is not the only way (and I would argue not even close to the "best" way) to accomplish such. Quick and easy, think like a proponent of priority use. What do you do when you want to preserve resources or protect environments? You include it in the proposal requirements.
