Basically, it's up to the people in each area to identify to the public if this is the first step to something UCP-ee, but generally there is nothing to see here. By changing the designations to 'public lands' it just means that they could act in the future, but there doesn't seem to be anything actually happening right now, except for one roadway going through.

The above press release does spend a lot of time on historical changes as opposed to what they just did right now, which comes across as super sketchy. The babying form of 'asking and answering questions' in a press release just makes it sound like they are giving us the information 'that we can handle' as opposed to just giving us the information. I hate that.

I wonder if public land means the same as crown land, and the big change would be that you can set of fireworks and firearms in the parks, now?
