Replying to Crisis in the ski towns
It’s honestly really depressing, and I think it’s especially clear now with ski towns that got wrecked by Covid. It doesn’t help that vail resorts is trying to reap in profits while completely neglecting the people who work for them. Selling more passes while experiencing record low employment at the resorts are bringing in more crowds, but sites like Airbnb and VRBO are driving up prices and driving out locals. It seems like the crisis has gotten some attention as there has been legislation and regulations regarding short-term rental that got passed in Summit county in an attempt to deal with the housing crisis. Just curious as to people’s thoughts on this situation and what it may mean for the future.
