I see Ayn Rand kinda like the movie idiocracy. She ment it as a tale of capitalism good, I see it as a cautionary tale of what’s going wrong and how billionaires see themselves as they destroy the planet.
But these run by private corporations so I'm sure much better.
I mean hey the toshi's need to feel like there's affordable housing being built. These obviously work.
Hunh, something to ponder.
Don’t know what it means, but it means…something.

In shocking reversal, mortgages proved poor investment for banks who lost money on home loans
Loan volumes in 2022 were 50% down compared to 2021. Meanwhile producing a loan got more expensive.

I'm not seeing any other alternatives for affordable housing. Just some hot air about taxing the rich, kidwoo insinuating that lifties should be paid more, etc.
That doesn't solve a housing shortage if that's the underlying issue. Which it is.

That's because your brain only works one way. The way that causes this exact scenario.
You call actual solutions hot air while sucking up what fucking vail resorts puts out as an image polisher press release.
I assume Kidwoo releases all of his negative energy here so he can behave at home and his sugar momma doesn't put him out on his ass forcing him to build a shed on the back of his flatbed to live in.
Whatsamadda? Having trouble with the topic?
I live in the equivalent of winter park on steroids. I've watched this exact company do all this shit many times. And this shit is usually a plan that never, ever ends up being what they state they're setting out to do. They do this to save face, and make toshi keep skiing with a clear conscience. They put 6 employees in a single shipping container in vail. These will end up as just another ski area real estate venture.
You think I'm pissed? You should meet my partner. I keep her from buying guns and shooting teslas driving too fast in the neighborhood.

The mayor of a rich New York suburb says wealthy communities 'are losing their minds' over Gov. Kathy Hochul's plan to increase housing
Lawmakers in Albany are currently negotiating the state's budget and Democrats are fighting each other over the housing proposal.

She grew up on long island. Dress is a little off.
I'm sure you see the same thing there. Idiots here complain about the 'look' of some the few apartment buildings built in the last 15 years.

This would be a great prompt for AI image creation.

Knock yourself out kid. Whatever gets it up. Which with you, let's be honest, is just about everything
I don’t mind housing where appropriate, we need it.
However, this trend of ‘architecture’ looking like a screenshot of a Minecraft city, I just don’t know how I feel.
Well, yes, maybe I do.
(Hypocrisy alert: I live in a gussified Boise Cascade Prefab, with lipstick on its pig-snout).
Nah the apartments here look fine. Nothing like that.
It's just bitches complaining about poor people living next to them. It's not about the architecture.
I’m flattered that you are constantly concerned about my state of Turgidity!Knock yourself out kid. Whatever gets it up. Which with you, let's be honest, is just about everything

So what should Alterra be doing, in your opinion? Paying lifties $25/hr won't matter if there are not units to rent for a reasonable proportion of that. Building several hundred units on site seems a whole lot better for workers than putting people down-valley, literally, a la Epic's plan. (Although Epic did try to build housing in Vail proper, shot down by NIMBYs protecting mountain goat habitat.)
For the record, I'm in favor of eliminating density regulations (and parking minimums) everywhere. Including my neighborhood. We need more housing. Lots of it.
You're addressing a symptom. This is the topic du jour but throughout the entirety of this thread I've said it over, and over, and over again. We do NOT have a structure problem. We have an ownership problem. As in we have houses. We don't have housING because those structures aren't being used as houses. They're being used as amenities.
You can build all the structures you want but they're just going to get eaten up by the same greed that killed the current housing stock. That's air bnbs and 2nd, 3rd, and 4th homes for you know who. But entire towns disappear (this one included) just because some rich fuck from nowhere near there wants to do one of the above to the housing. You need to get county leaders with courage, not real estate portfolios.
And yes WP and all the others need to pay people more. Don't you dare use expensive rent to justify NOT doing that.

Her sister is married to some NYPD douche who I had the pleasure of spending a christmas with. Have I ever mentioned how completely wrong with humanity the NYPD is?
Investment properties should be taxed at such a ridiculous rate to discourage or even prohibit institutional investment.
Alterra made $1.2B last year, Vail? almost $3B. They ABSOLUTELY can afford to pay living wages for the rich environments in which they operate.

Living Wage Calculator - Living Wage Calculation for Grand County, Colorado
fwiw here are the data for Grand County. assumptions of full time employment and $873/mo apartment availability are tenuous in this setting.
and how it compares to what's reported for WP:
Winter Park Resort Lift Operator Salaries in Winter Park
Average salary for Winter Park Resort Lift Operator in Winter Park: $19. Based on 134 salaries posted anonymously by Winter Park Resort Lift Operator employees in Winter Park.
"you deserve the shit conditions"
such projection
as a former ski resort employee, are most employees employed full time, year round (2080 hours)?
and are $873/mo apartments readily available for rent in Grand County?
Depends on the job. And that's changing as more of them start bike parking and doing other summer shit. Winter Park have anything like a bike park or anything like that?
Using a LIVING (as in bare minimum necessity to literally not die) wage as a benchmark makes you look far more clueless and removed than you can possibly imagine
And then you ran with it, thinking some MIT generated approximation has fuck all to do with anything, when what I'm talking out is the complete stripping of entire towns, in the interest of entertainment or investments for people who don't live there. Living wage numbers do nothing but define the ludicrous line.
It's the equivalent of making ivory tower proclamations about people's living conditions that you'd be appalled to be subject to yourself.
IF (and that's a big if) you can even find rentals in places like this anymore, they regularly get stripped out from under you when the landlord decides they want to sell because property values went up, or because a friend just convinced them at a cocktail party how lucrative airbnb can be.
You can clutch your pearls all you want. Trust me, you're not coming up with anything I haven't already heard in real life here, a million times. And it's ALWAYS from someone who doesn't live in the area in question, and has a vested interest in not actually addressing real problems.
I grew up in a 2 bedroom apartment on the 30th story of a low rent apartment building in NYC. I also lived for a year in Seattle on $20k when I was an intern. Projecting myself to be 20 years old and working seasonally at WP, I'd be psyched they're building housing on site, and would think people ranting on the internet about how it's slave quarters are just full of hot air.
Tell me more about your bootstraps. You poor thing, both poverty stricken parents meeting a berkeley.....
You really do sound like a boomer. bAcK iN mY dAy.....
It's different now. It's different than when I moved to a similar area here 23 years ago. You will never get this. Rentals largely do not exist. I lived in the woods in a tent one summer but that was to save up some money. I could have at least found a room to rent. THAT IS GONE. And that's largely in part due to what this company has done. Even IF they actually follow through with this and don't repurpose the structures, the damage they've done to the valley carries on. They just keep the cheap labor about to fund those numbers that nick posted for vail and alterra and to keep you blowing smoke up your own ass so you never ever have to face the stark reality that you, as in you personally, are part of the bigger problem.
