- W3143409897 abstract "Local governments own vast amounts of land. Some of these properties serve civic purposes—as the site of city halls and municipal courts; parks and schools; transit centers and convention facilities. But much of the land is vacant or underutilized, acquired piecemeal by the government entity and tertiary to its public purpose. A key characteristic of surplus public land is its fragmented nature, driven by a legal framework that encourages diffuse public ownership. Underutilized government properties are often intermingled among privately-owned residences and businesses—but crucially, while rarely explored, they are also intermingled with underutilized properties owned by other government entities. Surplus city properties are found in the same neighborhoods as surplus county, school district, and land bank properties. The result is an ineffectual checkerboard of fragmented public land. Two adjacent vacant lots may both be publicly-owned yet subject to different management regimes, development visions, and disposition policies. For local governments, fragmentation imposes costs and inefficiencies upon financially-strapped entities. For residents of the community, meanwhile, fragmentation threatens spaces of collective stewardship and fosters an inequitable imbalance of local power.This Article offers a pragmatic solution to checkerboard local public property: land exchanges between governmental entities. It advocates specifically for assembled land exchanges—which can involve more than two parties and may occur over a period of time—as an adaptive approach to tackling fragmentation while also promoting values of collaboration and shared governance. At the federal level, land exchanges serve as an effective mechanism for consolidating public land holdings. Yet at the local level, a government’s ability to conduct land exchanges is muddled by state law, confused by courts, and ultimately plagued by doctrinal inconsistency. In examining these barriers, this Article highlights the problem of opaque local power, an issue that breeds governance gaps between the power a local government was intended to hold—and arguably should or might hold—and the government’s ability to wield that power in practice. The Article concludes by proposing elements of the federal land exchange regime that could be applied at the local level." @default.
