As I understand it Kitimat was a totally "planned" community. Didn't gust grow like other towns/cities. Brasilia is the most famous planned city I think.

You want more privately owned land and here in Puget Sound I'd like less. There is practically no publicly owned lands accessible to the people. Very very few places where you can walk on the beach here. In Kitimat it looks like the government was the controlling power and here it's the money.

In Alaska there's so much land it's ridiculous. But the government owns almost all of it in the form of the Tongas National Forest. In most all places we the people can go there freely to walk, camp or hunt and even cut trees for personal use. Five trees and five deer as I recall. But there are very few beaches.
