I don't buy the funding argument. How much money would it seriously take to build a few more campsites?

It's fucking impossible. I'm convinced that the NPS just plain doesn't care if people can enjoy the parks so long as they are preserved.

Reply to comment by noldshit in New apartment buildings in low-income areas lead to lower rents in nearby housing units. This runs contrary to popular claims that new market-rate housing causes an uptick in rents and leads to the displacement of low-income people. by smurfyjenkins
It really shouldn't require a study. Unfortunately, in the wild many people have observed a correlation between rising rents and new construction. If an area has become more desirable to live in, for some exogenous reason, then rents are likely to increase while new construction is likely to also occur. This doesn't mean that the new construction is driving the rent increases, it's actually likely that it's the other way around, but they do happen at roughly the same time. In fact, it should be easy to imagine that if the exogenous demand increase occurred and new housing was prohibited how rent increases might be even larger than they otherwise would be.

Instagram might not have as many contentious arguments, but it is making young girls kill themselves. So there are other metrics for toxicity.

Reply to Question about Leavenworth by Bluejay_1234
If the weather is good, you can just drive the civic. There are two routes from the Seattle area over to Leavenworth, I-90 to Blewitt Pass, or over Stevens Pass. I would generally favor the Snoqualmie to Blewitt route in winter, but weather conditions could make the optimal route situational.

I'm curious about the "ecologically important" part. What specifically do you mean by that.

I gave up car camping years ago. These days I only backpack. What you said about preservation is exactly right. They are prioritizing preservation over hiker and camper experience. That's my whole gripe with their method of operations. I don't buy the argument that hikers and backpackers are the greatest threat to the wilderness, it's clearly development. I also don't buy the argument that there is a positive correlation between the number of visitors that a trail can handle and the budget for the forest service. I think the forest service spends more on enforcement than they do on managing trails.
