    Like Buster, I vote in favor of school funding, subsidizing the transit system, and the "affordable housing" levy, whatever the fuck that is.

    The school stuff alone is $5222.85

    So, yes.

    I mean the working class will be replaced by robots in the not too distant future anyway so I guess it's nice to get the jobless poor out of the City before they become a sore to the eyes, no? It's much nicer to live in guarded conpounds like they do in South africa and latin America. Who needs a low gini coeffcient if you can have ( robot
    -?) guards with assault rifles?
    It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.

    I was getting 8.50 an hr and rent was on average 350 a room when I got here today you make 15-20 an hr to stand there and hold your dick and be an asshole to tourists and rooms cost about 1500.00 a month what has changed?
    everyone thinks that a mtn town should be easy to live in and affordable it was every tom dick and harry would be here

    the idea that people are pointing the finger at short term rentals as the boogy man is bullshit it's just an easy target to blame

    no mortgage = sprinter

    Do people have a right to live cheaply in places like Sun Valley, Jackson, Telluride, ect? In big metro areas, people drive until they qualify and regularly have 1.5 hour commutes. I don't see why people in exclusive ski towns think they should be immune to this. If people in Sun Valley want to build dense affordable housing in their town center that's fine. But if they prefer to make all the middle class and service workers drive in, that's their choice too. These are not real towns. They are gated communities for the weathy. I am much more concerned with providing affordable housing in real cities than fake towns like Sun Valley and Aspen.

    And why do anything to encourage growth in mountain towns in tight valleys like Ketchum, Jackson, and Aspen? This is the last place we want more people to try to cram into.

    Just because I like gini so much I let this map out of his bottle.

    I think despite Irak and kasachstan it makes a compelling case on where to live.

    slut island or whore island as it was once known is slated to be demolished this week and turned into a second home I guess that's a loss of long term rental housing

    Agreed.

    STR is the new STD

    It fucks the working man or woman.

    A few months of prime season rental. Then sits vacant.

    Yeah the fourth home also sits vacant. But they pay for that.
    STR allows more people to leave homes vacant. It’s fucked.
    We have a 13% tax on STR. Hasn’t slowed the market.
    I’m hoping they use the revenue to build worker housing.

    where I live there is all this up in arms bullshit about short term rentals

    I'm a politician and I like to say "affordable housing" as much as I can
    All I think about is the "smug" south park episode about how fake people are
    If these poticians and burricrates actually wanted to do something they would slap a yearly $10,000.00 lic fee per short term rental
    but they are pussies and would never do that
    cause you have people screaming about their property rights and capitalism

    a 10,000 yearly fee would change things quickly but we don't like real solutions and rather like to pussy foot around
    and for every fuck tard realtor I know who talks about how if we ban short terms property values and all this other bullshit would cause total collapse of the re market
    so smug go blow yourself relator

    Get rid of height restrictions, parking requirements, occupancy maximums and SFH zoning first. Then maybe I'll listen to what you have to say about STR.

    Y'all picked the wrong sport if you're worried about money.

    That said. Forget Ketchum or the Front Range. Why not settle in Londonderry, VT? World class skiing on your doorstep and affordable housing.

    That matches up with what I have seen. I am certain there would be more long term rentals if residential zoned areas ban STR's.

    Starting early Benny? I normally go on the wagon in August to drop a few pounds for winter. And my family hates it when I am on the wagon/diet.

    You have to do an honest means test before you decide to pack the 192 GPO's and the dual suspension mountain bike into your 2001 Legacy and embark on the mountain town lifestyle. The "figure it out when we get there" thing usually ends poorly. Literally.

    Agreed. Esp regarding the dirt pimps, it’s all about their bottom line.
    But your anecdotal argument about second homes just remaining vacant with no str captures only a small slice of them and ignores the larger econ 101 implications.
