The residents of Vail are going to have to make a choice: Either they can have affordable housing for their workforce and the sheep will have to find a new hill to graze on, writes ConnCarroll. Or housing will only get more expensive.
The problem is that the very rich liberals who live in resort towns need servants to cook their meals, clean their homes, and operate the lifts on the ski slopes. These servants all need to live somewhere, but part of the allure of resort towns is the pristine wilderness that surrounds them.We can’t have apartment buildings for the poor spoiling the rustic mountain aesthetic.
The plan requires annual updates that include cataloging every parcel of land in the town and the surrounding areas and identifying who owns it. In 2016, just such a review revealed that 24 acres of land near Interstate 70 that everyone thought belonged to the Colorado Department of Transportation actually belonged to Vail Resorts, the private company that operates the town’s ski resort.
“First, our wildlife is important to the character and attractiveness of this valley, not the least of which are the sheep,” one public comment submitted to the town read. “Second, the first view of Vail that visitors and residents coming down from Vail pass should see is the current one, not a massive and out of place apartment complex.”
