What if I decided to set up on some state or federal land? Do you suppose I could claim adverse possession?
I agree with you, it is not right but the courts have decided differently, you give up your rights if you let someone take over and occupy your property.

Also, the law is very clear that one can not adversely possess land that is owned by the government, states or municipalities.
