I personally don't consider that nuanced.

I live five miles from pavement, an hour from a hospital, so I understand these concerns.

I would be absolutely disgusted if they paved through my local national forest for some quicker access to... Anything. Literally anything.

Those people all have the choice to leave. Living in remote places comes with many, many tradeoffs and inconveniences. There's no safety in the wilderness.

Keep the wild places wild. There's so little left.

We know from history that the destruction of the jungle's began with roads making them accessible to illegal loggers, miners and hunters. The road to hell...

A lot of illegal logging of old growth goes on in Washington State adjacent to the roads.
