Answer:

Communities that have been impacted by extraction activities have experienced a number of changes, most notably an increase in the cost of living. The cost of housing, in particular, is often much higher due to increased demand from workers seeking employment in the extraction industry. Additionally, the increased presence of the industry often increases prices on necessities such as food and clothing, resulting in an overall increased cost of living. Other environmental factors that may be impacted include air and water quality, wildlife habitats, and soil quality.
