That elitism dealing with fire prevention is part of the problem and results that have caused so much destruction in So Cal. Not exactly the same but similar.
Like this gate, landowners many times will post signs saying private property knowing full well they can usually get away with it. Seen it in CA, UT, OR, AZ, ID and SD. Usually their bluff works. You bring up a good idea, go to the county I see what they show. X and Gaia both show a corridor...
