Yes, the State is sometimes left disconnected parcels of land from people's wills and other methods. The State does not have enough resources (staff) to oversee these excess disconnected parcels, ranging in size from .17 acres to a few around 20 acres in size. So, the State will sometimes auction off these excess lands. I understand that these types of parcels are those which this gentleman in the story is trying to acquire for the affordable housing. It doesn't sound like he will be the sole source to cure the problem with the lack of affordable housing, but I, too, am glad to see someone making an effort to begin the process.
