Anyone interested in the Buffalo Commons idea should visit my website, policy.rutgers.edu/faculty/popper. The idea originated with me and my wife Deborah Popper, a geographer at the City University/College of Staten Island and Princeton University. The Buffalo Commons idea has no particular connection with the Sagebrush Rebellion idea of selling of the large federal holdings from the Rockies westward. Best wishes,

This is not the entire picture, since many of the rights of land ownership, such as land improvement in roads and zoning, are exercised by local communities, it’s safer to say that 100% of the land of the United States is owned communally and not privately. What private owners have is a limited plot inside the communal land.
