"place houses on the top of small mountains in the middle of nowhere, one of the most arrogant ego-centric statements one could make IMO. Where there was once only beautiful land, there are now people. Sad is the only word I can think of to describe this." Partly true, but the flip side is leaving it pristine, only to have the trespassing 4 wheelers and mud boggers tear the ever living crap out of the hillside since no one is around to stop them. Or own some mountain side in NC, live in New York, admit you've never seen your land, and could care less about the abandoned rusting smashed car hulks that litter the headwaters of the major river in central NC. Meanwhile the trespassing Monster trucks, 4 wheelers, and whatever else race up and down the mountainside, destroying the vegetation, creating erosion, leaving the remnants of their games littering the stream. Etc. Can you please call the sheriff? No, don't care. Do you wish to sell and let me take it off your hands? No Would you consider paying my cost of securing and checking on the land, since I'm certain the activities are going to find thier way onto my and other adjoining tracts? No. What do you intend to do? Nothing. Don't care. All of which is far worse than actually living on the mountaintop and maintaining the tract.
