This is the problem with publicly owned land. The people whose property borders the land often think they "own" it, when they really don't. At the minimum, they assume that they have a right to say what goes on there more so than other folks in the community who have paid for it.

I don’t know that you should have been out there chopping down trees without a permit, or whatever, but the bottom line is if the land is public then you own it just as much as the people who live near it.

Seems your tax dollars are paying for some nice real estate for a few fortunate folks who happen to border the property. While I’m no lawyer, I have observed that, at least in my community, a minority of complaining homeowners usually trumps all other parties involved in these kinds of disputes.

Anyway, I try to stay far away from any kids who want to talk to me or my dog, just for these reasons. Sad, I think. But a reality of the world we live in.
