For example look at Southern Nevada, specifically the Las Vegas Valley. This part of Nevada is home to numerous large master planned communities. Communities like Southern Highlands and Sun City Anthem are home to thousands of residents along with commercial property to support the neighborhoods. Where did the developers get the land for these large communities? The land came from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through public auctions or land swaps for environmentally sensitive private land.
