How much money do they seriously consider recreation will bring in as compared to industrial employment? I guess families who have lived for generations in Eureka working in the woods or the mills will have to try raising their families by working in restaurants catering to the environmentalists.
I remember when the spotted owl controversy was going on a SF TV new report was talking about how families in Eureka who had lived there for generations were facing a bleak future. The reporter asked the spokesman of an environmental group what these people were supposed to do for a living and he said "they will just have to get a new job". When it was pointed out that there wasn't enough jobs to go around he said "well, I guess they will just have to move away".
