I think the name "waste land" is a bit misleading. From what I've read, it's of ecological importance and has been officially recognized as such. As for the wealth argument, it is always important to balance conservation and economics, development and environment. I just don't see the development benefiting the local population enough to justify what Mr. Trump is proposing. It seems to be a location unto itself, which will have its own accomodations and what not, so that even if tourism increases preexisting innkeepers shan't benefit. I'd just be hesitant, because not all development is good development. And Trump isn't Midas. Some of what he touches turns to $*&^. So then Aberdeen will be out of their beautiful, protected area capable of drawing tourists and they'll also be in a monetary hole as well.
