Only something like 2% of the land in the county is privately owned.  Most land is NP or NFS.  Also, the super rich have created land trusts in the name of &amp;quot;the environment&amp;quot; to prevent development encroaching on their estates*.&lt;p&gt;2. We get millions of tourist per year on their way to GTNP &amp;amp; Yellowstone.&lt;p&gt;3. People from outside communities drive hours to fill a endless supply of &amp;quot;good paying&amp;quot; jobs fueled by the tourist &amp;amp; ultra-rich.  At anytime in the local classified, you&amp;#x27;ll find 4-5 pages of &amp;quot;help wanted&amp;quot; and maybe only 1-3 &amp;quot;for rent&amp;quot; listing</text></comment>
