I'll note that the plan is to sell land in places without jobs, which means that it will become play space for billionaires rather than housing for the masses

One of our native American tribes has become fabulously wealthy in the modern era, but got seriously wumped up on by the native American superpower back then. These days, that superpower tribe is more cash strapped, but still holds expensive territories.

The wealthy tribe sued to get hunting rights on the superpowers's considerable lands. The old superpower tribe said something to the effect of "you can win whatever you want in the white man's court, but you will never set foot on our land and live to see another day" and they meant that quite seriously. The wealthy tribe still hasn't set foot on their "shared" land.
