There is no way this doesn’t impact locals that live there full time the most though. They need power all year and also pay utilities.

The only locals left are firmly part of the gentry. Real people were priced out nearly 20 years ago. What's really going to fuck these people is the loss of tourism thanks to fuel. People aren't driving up into the mountains with $12/gallon gas, and planes are less and less feasible by the day. Those "locals" are going to starve economically. Good riddance. The Sierra Nevada mountains would do well with less people.

Someone's gotta work the restaurants and open up the tourist locations
