The Trump administration has been secretly plotting to gift a portion of Yosemite National Park to a private developer, a new report claims.
The eyebrow-raising deal, which prior administrations rejected, would award a sliver of the iconic national park to a developer to pave a private road through the park that would likely spike the value of the developer’s nearby property, insiders tell NOTUS.
He said he was gonna do this shit, and he’s doing it. Expect more to come. Private developers have priority over everything else, and congress will do nothing to stop this because many are paid by the same people who have enough money to buy immunity from consequences. No state can interfere because it’s federal land, and courts will only delay temporarily while construction begins until it’s “too late” to stop. The only way to stop it is if potential buyers and investors believe that some harm will come to them for participating.
That exactly what needs to happen. We need another Luigi. I have not been to the park want to but by time I can there is a chance it be privately owned and be private use by the rich.
If there was a meaningful way to unionize construction workers so that blatantly unethical projects like this and data centers wouldn’t be carried out it might stop some of them but that requires a lot of political capital. They seem to like building places that enjoy excluding people like them, even when it’s public land and resources being used.
Could thebstates simply close all access roads and shoot down and tresspassing helicopters?
