I know a little bit about our forests because I fight wildfires for a living. Our forests are so mismanaged, we can't get cheap timber out of Montana. To build homes in Montana, We're buying [timber] from other countries. And regulation our local governments, our city governments, our county governments have to be incentivizing cheap housing so people can actually afford to live in the communities they live in.
