Have you ever tried to subdivide a property? You make it sound like this is easy, but this is not easy at all.

The solution is even simpler: right to roam. Give all people the right to traverse wild, undeveloped private property at their own risk, with no liability for the owner (assuming good faith on the owner’s part).
Throw in some reasonable guardrails regarding proximity to residences, intent, etc., and call it a day.

I really like this, and would support it. However, it's not the world the US lives in today.

Legally clarifying public right of way access would obviate the need for formal subdivision.

Again. If I was a landowner, I would never take that risk. For instance:
https://www.rkmlaw.net/who-is-liable-for-accident-on-easemen...
>For all other types of easements, however, including property usage rights granted to a neighbor or private party, maintenance remains the property owner’s legal responsibility. If the easement does not involve a public utility company, therefore, the landowner will be liable. Otherwise, the utility company will be liable. However, if the granted party damages the property, he or she is legally obligated to restore it to its previous condition.

Okay.
