Because the only thing people care about is themselves and their short little lives.
As long as the money is good for them, and they don't have to worry about paying for their house, they'll sail every succeding generation up the river if need be.
Measures to open up park land for tourism to boost economy's have historicaly failed to work, and have usually been a precedent for use of the natural resources. After all, building the roads in is the needed access for resource extraction.
No one has the balls to actually say that a small population in a failed town is less important than keeping the natural resources protected. But the reality is they are less important. They only live 70 years at best. Small time frame compared to what it would take to regrow those tree's.
(By the way, I actually detest environmentalists, I simply don't see the small residential populations as worth saving via economics or for that matter, them being the real purpose of this bill.)
