Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Recreation Land Price Escalation The problem of soaring land prices which Point Reyes presents is not peculiar to this particular area or, indeed, to the National Park Service. It exists at other newly authorized areas elsewhere in the country and every major land-acquiring agency of the Government is plagued by it. A large part of the problem seems to stem from the fact that, once it is known that a given area is being considered for public development - whether it be a recreation area, a reservoir site, an airport, or what have you - the spotlight is on it, people who had never given it a thought begin to see its desirability, and promoters and out-and - out specula tors move in. The Committee is very much concerned about these developments and was glad to be informed that the problem is being studied intensively by the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. It is its hope that some workable suggestions can be developed and presented by the administration for committee consideration early next year.
