“I don't think it's a stupid question at all. That is your inference.”
To be fair, Stu, you do have a penchant for belittling others for posting questions that you would not have posted yourself or questions that don’t think should be asked, or when you don’t approve of the subject matter. I doubt that Jane and I are the only people who have noticed it. Even on this particular question of hers, there’s not even a requirement that answers have to be or should be objective.
Great question, it’s both interesting and thought-provoking.
However, and in the probability that this may seem selfish, some of top places I can think of are on my list precisely because of their pristine and almost flawless natural beauty, something that would be marred by even the smallest infusion of more human presence. I have been in some of the most idyllic tropical jungles in Asian countries that had the very greenest foliage that I’ve ever seen. The air was so crisp and the water in the streams and rivers was so clear and clean that it defied any previous experiences. The only sounds for miles around were the wind and the animals, of which there were many.
Also, in the woods or the mountains in the Midwest where I come from, that same solitude and mysterious beauty I’ve also seen.
I don’t want to name specific places because I think that inviting more people to an area is among the first steps to its eventual ruin.

Thank you, great suggestion!
