There are enough rich people to make the auction price of a ticket at a desirable location $1,000 and we know there is never going to be enough redistribution to prevent that. What you're suggesting would realistically make the activity inaccessible.

$1,000/night is pretty much in the range of relatively primitive camping on private land in primo locations. I've been shocked at the price tag associated with so-called glamping (which isn't quite like pitching a tent but close enough) in locations I don't even think are that primo. Absolutely an auction for Yosemite slots on a summer weekend would be at least in the high three figures.

You're completely out of touch with reality if you think $1000/night for camping is acceptable or normal.

It depends on 'primo' the 'primo location' is, I guess.

It is very much on the high end.
