OP here. While Trump will inevitably pick a side this wasn't his idea. It's congress that's selling the land (and turning almost no profit doing so).
>>942944So you'd like the whole country to be like Appalachia where almost every protected mountain range is surrounded by shitty towns and most people have to drive hours just to find a trail that's not littered with beer cans and used condoms? No thank you, I'd like America to retain at least a little of its wilderness.
>>942919Well obviously they weren't going to keep the entire Louisiana purchase undeveloped. The problem is nowadays most people have to drive hours to go hunting or camping, and there are people who'd like to make it even harder. I don't know about you but I'd like my kids to grow up knowing what it's like to enjoy nature, and I don't mean sleeping in an RV in a shitty national park campground.
>>942942Why are you on /out/ if your concept of the outdoors is a path through the woods behind the local rec center?
