Just imagine if one (or more!) of the billionaires or soon to be trillionaire, decided to unload their wealth on public good projects like endowing open land for public good, building and endowing schools and libraries, endowing hospitals and care centers to help control health care costs, and helped ensure the national debt starting to shrink rather than continue to grow. Too bad more aren't like MacKenzie Scott. Maybe she'll see this as a worthy cause. I can only hope.

The government has the ability to acquire it, but has to pay the value of the property.
