Eh its like actually full rolling now. They've cleared out all the land they never cleared out and are working on leveling it and will start paving in june I believe.

Personally im against the project because building a highway downtown is just stupid in 2022.

Redditors on their way to comment "Who?" On a post instead of doing a 30 second google search.

Usually Thats reserved for any reddit post about a musician that isnt white or kanye. But I guess wanzer is deserving of them today.

I mean a lot of rental housing in those resort areas that would be previously rented out houses that resort employees lived in. You are right that ski condos dont really count as housing though. They tend to be horrific quality substandard buildings. And a lot of the time you aren't even allowed to live in them full time because that would become apparent.

Also how many "wfh yuppies" actually moved here. My anctedoctal experience is a lot of them left after the lockdowns subsided a bit.

Also who is a WFH yuppie. I work from home for a VT based company. I used to commute into the office but gave up when it became a sickfest. Most of my direct coworkers left the state due to housing and affordability. Vt isn't as desirable to everyone as this sub makes it out to be sometimes.

>Almost every working class person who I have spoken to on the issue is very afraid of Airbnbs disappearing because of the direct and second and third order effects that economic activity generates. I also find it very curious that the anti-Airbnb crowd has absolutely no proposed ideas for how to replace that economic activity.

Look up studies done on banning airbnb in Europe. It turns out that airbnb users contrubute significantly less to the economy than actual hotel people

Yeahhh the heartstring pulling from airbnb owners is always weird. Its proven that you can pass a law that bans invesors from renting out entire neighborhoods, yet still lets airbnbs function as "intended". Burlington did so. As it turns out though. People just renting out a spare room in their house is in the minority.

Also that survey may have bias. As someone just renting out an airbnb room to live here. Is probably more likely to respond to a survey. Than some property investor.
