Abstract
As I argue in my work to date, the private property rights movement is the most significant land-use and environmental movement in the U.S. It has succeeded in keeping its agenda before the U.S. Congress throughout the 1990s (though as yet there has been no action that has resulted from this). More significantly, movement supporters have succeeded in having bills introduced in all of the states reflecting their agenda and they have secured the passage of legislation in over half of all state. In addition, they have promoted significant parallel activity in more than 200 counties.
