There's way too much development in California and way too many people as it is.
Wouldn't bother me if they prohibited the chopping down of even a single California tree again.
I take it that you live in CA?
You are full of crap and clearly incapable of Reason. There are so many overstocked forests in California about to blow sky high that the forest management infrastructure can't begin to keep up with the rate of growth. Where I live the rate of growth exceeds harvesting by a factor of five even on managed lands. In the aggregate, less than 0.5% of the volume gets harvested annually while volume accrues 3% annually.
When the San Bernardino Fire blew a couple of years ago there were places with 2,000 trees per acre where the pre-Columbian stocking levels were 15-45 trees per acre.
You should try the hard work of restoring land before flapping your jaws about National Forest policy, much less tell someone else what they can or cannot do with their land.
BTW, if they'd developed the Santa Monica's and left the orange groves intact, California would appear to be much more open, social services could be provided to the present population living on a smaller area, and everybody would be much happier.
