I'm of a split opinion. On the one hand, price is a natural level to control the amount of people and burden on the ecosystem. On the other hand, as you point out, money isn't evenly distributed so some folks could be blocked out.

Seems like maybe a 2 tier pricing model for "in state" vs "out of state" visitors might be a partial solution. Low income folks might be less likely to travel longer distances while more affluent folks would be more likely. It wouldn't be 100% of course but maybe better than just a flat increase across the board.

I don't know.
