Land of the Rich

We were talking about people who live in national parks and I came across a site that had some amazing dollar amounts for land inside these parks. There has been 1.6 million acres in the last decade that people have bought inside national parks around the world. For example in Gettysburg you would have to pay $58,000/acre. In another park you had to pay $250,000 for 54 acres. In Keweenaw National Park in Michigan you would have to pay $2.45 million dollars for 11 acres. In my opinion I would not even put a price on land inside national parks and try to keep it as pristine and natural as possible. For those rich that can afford to buy this land I think that the prices are fair and should be as high as they are.
