Quoted: Using Steamboat Springs is a scam Thats Marie Antoinette shit right there.

I also don't want to live in a community where there is nothing for those on the lower rungs of society, and the least among us have to live in squalor: someone's gotta grill those hamburgers, sling cigs and fuel at the c-store, make coffee, serve food, run the ski lifts, etc. So if I choose to live in some place where it is remote and costly to live, I'm going to have to subsidize those people too through higher retail costs and probably some sort of government programs, it is just reality. It is a choice too, no one is making me or them live there, we all have the same goal of living in a special and beautiful place. |

Commies being commies. The fools vote them in and now wonder why they don't give a crap about them. I don't feel sorry for them one bit. Tourist towns rarely give a shit about the local people. All they want are the fast bucks. If you get in the way with community values you will get run out or run over. If you want freedom, these places are not for you. Tourist or college towns exist for one reason and it isn't for you. The other side of the coin is they have their purpose, they are just not for me, I lived in one once and it was insane. The college town had no values in common with the people. The city govt. existed to suck the college's ass. Typical, liberal colleges vs conservative community. You either become like the college or get out of Dodge before they force you out.

Quoted: Maybe I'm a commie, but I feel that planner's pain. He's trying to enable poors to live in an area that few can live in, and they are choosy beggars. View Quote Nashville's housing market has been insane for the last decade, and only getting worse. Too many people deciding that Nashville is so much better than the expensive areas they are fleeing, turning it into what they are fleeing by simply showing up to compete with other buyers. Developers can't keep up with the demand, even by increasing the density of the housing (which they have been doing since the start of this housing market boom). They are beating the affordable housing drum, as they themselves shop for expensive housing to avoid paying capital gains tax on the sale of their old home. To direct attention away from their part in making housing unaffordable, they point to the homeless camps, claiming that the cost of housing and the recent downturn in the economy (COVID) has put those people, who were financially struggling, in those camps. They simply ignore the facts that those camps have been there since before Trump ran for president and that they have a much higher percentage of mentally ill and drug addicted residents than camps in many other cities, due to local policies making the area more attractive to the 'chronically homeless' (cops told to not hassle them unless certain conditions are met, people encouraged to hand them money for standing on street corners, etc). |

I'd wager the community planner, Mr Peasley, is from either the East or Left coast.
My family moved to Steamboat back when it was first being Californicated in the mid 70s. It was not hard to spot the difference between the natives and knarlies. Housing was scarce way back then. My Dad's solution: move to nearby Hayden. His work took him to Steamboat, Craig, Rock Springs and Breckinridge. It was a good solution. |

"Affordable, high density housing" is usually a fancy way of eventually saying "crime".
|
|
Quoted: The question came, as it always did, just as Jason Peasley finished making his case for Brown Ranch, a development that would grow the size of his city by one-third and finally provide some affordable housing for the hundreds of people doubled up in trailer parks and hotel rooms in the ski town. The development, as Peasley pitched it to the room of residents gathered under thick wooden beams in the local community center, would use density to solve the housing problemmainly by building apartments and attached homes. "What about single family homes?" a woman standing in the back of the meeting room asked. "Because I would like to buy one someday." Steamboat Springs, Colo.where Peasley serves as the head of the Yampa Valley Housing Authority, providing affordable housing to all of Routt Countyis a mountain town that draws people for its wide open vistas and outdoor space. The idea of living in an apartment on what is now green rolling hills jarred people with visions of their own porches and yards, who had seen their neighbors amass hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity just by owning a single family home during the pandemic. "Personally, I would take a very, very small house," another resident said. "So would I," the woman in the back said quickly, so as not to be left out. Peasley sighed. Nine months ago, he'd been given an opportunity that most urban planners dream ofan anonymous donation of 536 acres of land to build long-term affordable housing for people who live and work in Steamboat Springs. But it's difficult to get buy-in to use hundreds of acres to build multifamily homes in Steamboat, which currently has 1,400 fewer housing units than are currently needed. Residents might support density in theory, but what they really want is a single-family home to call their own. How Steamboat solves this conundrum could have implications for communities across the country that are struggling with affordability as their populations grow. Home prices have soared in the past two years in cities like Austin and Phoenix as well as in ski towns like Truckee and Sun Valley. Adding more dense housing units would help keep prices affordable, because many of these places have natural boundaries like mountains or oceans that prevent developers from sprawling out. But proposals like Peasley's are usually thwarted by neighbors who complain about their views being blocked or their parking becoming limited or their beloved townwhich they themselves moved to years or decades beforegetting too crowded. Many communities like Steamboat are reaching a breaking point. Here, the need for more housing had been abundantly clear even before the pandemic, as investors turned condos and apartments that had once provided workforce housing into cash cows on Airbnb. Then, in 2020, remote workers flocked to Steamboat. For all the urban planners proclaiming density to be the solution to America's housing needs, the majority of Americans still dreamed of a single-family home, with a yard, a tree, and room to grow, and the pandemic only whetted that appetite as families spent more time at home and looked for private outdoor space and extra rooms to double as offices. The median listing price of a single family home in Steamboat is now $829,000, up from $529,000 in 2019. Rents for a one-bedroom apartment are hovering around $2,100, about one-third higher than the national average. By July of 2021, 60 percent of Americans said they'd prefer to live in a place where the homes are large and farther apart, even if schools, stores, and restaurants were a few miles away, up from 53 percent before the pandemic, according to a Pew Research Center survey. In contrast, 39 percent preferred a community where homes are small and close to each other but where schools, stores, and restaurants were in walking distance, down from 47 percent in 2019. That's even though half of Americans say that affordable housing is a major problem in their community. As Peasley has tried to explain time and again, affordability and density go hand in hand. Single family homes are much more expensive to build than attached homes or apartments, and they take up more room, and need more resources to maintain. Steamboat could build seven attached homes for the amount it would cost to build one single-family detached home, according to projections by Mithun, a consulting group helping with the project. "We have an opportunity that maybe no other community has to really thoughtfully address our housing issues in one massive development," Peasley, a tall redheaded urban planning guru who could be mistaken for an Olympic skateboarder, told me recently. "This could really be a template for our 21st century live, work, and play." Peasley is uniquely suited to helping convert Steamboat to pro-density. He was a city planner for Steamboat Springs for five years before taking over the Yampa Valley Housing Authority a decade ago; his tenure has created hundreds of units of affordable housing. His success in getting tax credits to build some affordable housing in Steamboat is what motivated anonymous donors to give him the money to buy Brown Ranch and build even more. Peasley hopes to build 2,300 units at Brown Ranch, which would meet the demand projected for the next two decades. But no matter how many times Peasley explains this all to the community, even the most self-aware residents of Steamboat are having a hard time letting go of their vision of a home and yard to call their own. "The disconnect we're having is that everyone wants the American dreama single-family homeand economists tell us it's not possible," Peasley says. The surest way to wealth in America has long been to stake claim to a plot of land and a home, but places like Steamboat are discovering that if they are dedicated to welcoming everyone who wants to live there, they're going to have to pioneer another way.

It is a self correcting problem, when a specific location gets too expensive to live fir people that work for a living, those people don’t take jobs there, the services and economy suffers, the values decline as people leave, and things get cheaper.
It may take a while, but that is how it works. |

They built some "town homes" ( overpriced row homes ) here in the late 90s.. It was mostly retirees buying them. They were around 1400sq foot a unit, I think they were sold for around 109k, Most of the ones that sold recently sold around 130k a piece Compared to the single family homes in the area, the appreciation on them is shit. Im guessing most of the people who bought them new lost money on them over the years
