I suppose any admin has policies that irk some - and they leave, for reasons stated or otherwise.
One here said that the Govt. failed to pursue penalties. that's believable. Another complains about "fire roads." That's quite overly sensitive. There seems to be an ongoing debate about forest management and fires. As for the road issue, that's pathetic.
I posted this on another thread earlier and it points out in graphic detail, your road thoughts.
Just a little math to ponder: 60' (timber fire break) times 5280' (mile) times 100 miles, divided by 43560 (sq ft in acre) equals 727.27 acres cleared. At close to 500,000 acres burned to the ground, cleared, wasted and wiped out for at least 10-20years, I would call the trade-off quite good. Bear in mind that 100 miles of a sixty foot timber break is only my guess as to what would be sufficient for a safety margin. Even if it's double or triple that, the tradeoff is more than good. Then again, common sense does not exist with Enviro/nazi's!!!
