Interesting that the Restore Hetch Hetchy folks are in favor of allowing an electric ferry and kayaks on the reservoir. Seems to me like it would have the opposite effect of what they hope for, which is to say would make people enjoy the reservoir quite a bit more than they already do.

Then there is the Yosemite Conservancy that bought land in and adjacent to Yosemite West. Again, without the prior knowledge of property owners, someone that is a consultant for the Yosemite Conservancy is lobbying for Mariposa County to change the zoning so high density housing could be built in what is now zoned rural. This would allow the Conservancy to built large housing units on some of that property.

My understanding of the Conservancy's purchase of the land adjacent to Yosemite West was that it is to be used to help alleviate the critical shortage of employee housing. NPS can't fill many seasonal positions because housing that seasonal employees used to be able to afford has now been priced out of their reach because of the short term rental market, i.e, AirBNB and VRBO. Seasonal applicants interview and are hired but then back out when they see the cost of housing in Mariposa and elsewhere. Kind of ironic that owners of property in Yosemite West, the large majority of whom make money in the short term rental market, and whom are partly responsible for the housing shortage, are complaining about this.
