That's what I be telling ppl that work in Colorado ski towns. Instead of sleeping in your car just to work there, if yall all just stopped, drastic changes would need to be made.

It's already starting to happen in Telluride. Personally, I can't work any harder...it's just too expensive anymore (been here since 90).

The truly desperate will stay working there, undercutting in any way they can, sleeping in their car to have steady work and be in demand in a race to the bottom.

@@nomaderic They'll simply import more Mexicans for $2/hr, then what?

The problem is that these places are vacation homes for people who live elsewhere 40+ weeks of the year. The demand for labor isn't strong enough for individual workers or towns to have much leverage. The billionaires can write off their homes and move on.

I saw a different news story featuring a local politician who believed it was repaired unsafely. It may collapse again soon.

Yeah that’s insane lmao

It's amazing what money can influence...

The fact that they acted so shock. Especially when first responders don’t even make a living wage in most major cities

@@bonquiqui874 7.4 million is not like the rest of america.

7.4 million. insane. does it even cost that much to live in the hamptons?

Don't forget about the extreme NIMBY's. Vail ski resorts wanted to build affordable housing for their employees but got struck down by the town. The reason was being in bighorn sheep territory despite being next to I-70 & housing being built on said territory.

Hunter S Thompson warned & rallied against that happening in the 70's. Now we see the result &, unfortunately, trend...

I heard steamboat springs businesses are wanting to build apartments for their workers.

This isn't capitalism. It's a corporate welfare state that your tax payer money is funding, while at the same time taking over your government, raising the ladder so that people like you and me can't succeed, refusing to pay a fair wage, and taking everything.....they are now after the real estate that will turn this country into a company town. Not1hing about this is true Capitalism.

And people in Wyoming will keep voting for more power for the rich.

Blame the Government for being inactive on delays in Infrastructure Upheavals. Light Rail Metros are the Best for Working Population.

@@lokesh303101 yeah go put an application so you can start building a metro rail from Jackson to Victor Idaho and see how much that takes and how much will cost, very good suggestion

@Sarcastic_Asmodeus it doesn't really matter. Republican or Democrat the outcome of capitalism is still the same. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. That's the way it always will be

I agree on the corporations part but not personal homes.

Taxes would Work Bro! Don't be so Angered.

I can be a corporation. You can be one too. Just fill out the paperwork. My point? Corporations are people just like you and I. Except they couldn't care less about us or our basic needs.

@@felipenunez2058 Sounds like what a freeloader would say. The type of person who doesn't work for a living and instead lives off the labor of their tenants.

@@BufordDuckworth freeloader no sir I own a home in Tennessee and cancun mexico. About to own a home in los angeles as my parents are leaving it to me and moving to my home in mexico. I pay into taxes my boy. One can own multiple homes if they buy them I can choose to rent them out or abnb them but to much hassle so I rather not. My wife and I make good money in our 9 to 5 job with 6 weeks vacation. In florida in mexico in los angeles which ever place we feel like going every 2 months.

Shame

And airplanes. And Semi Trucks. And houses.

@@justmee9441and food

"disconnected royalty" Pretty good way to describe it.

Vail and Aspen are loaded with all kinds of rich people. I didn’t understand why it was so expensive until I visited the area my first time. I saw some Saudi prince with an entourage when I pulled up and I was probably the only guy there with a Nissan 😂 the Motel not hotel 30 minutes outside of Aspen was $300 a night 😳 it’s unfortunate that the average person can’t afford to visit and spend much time at these beautiful places around the world.

More like 3 houses

Means to say Increase the Property Taxes.

@@zanebea3437 more than 1. Nobody needs more than 1 house

What's unfair about it? The value of your home is increasing.

@@janofb And so are the tax bills that make it virtually unaffordable for the average person. That along with the cost of living increasing without wage growth to match it. That is unfair. The US is experiencing the gilded age on steroids.

@@Iris-hx6ox That's a lot of generalization. For example, in CA, the people saw the tax hikes for property causing people with fixed income to lose their homes to property taxes and passed Prop 13. Why didn't the folks in Wyoming do that? Cost of living is going up the same everywhere, so using that as an excuse that it makes it difficult to live in Jackson Hole is BS. And if the locals aren't charging more to the rich folks moving in to gain wage growth, well, who's fault is that? You're not actually competing with new comers for jobs are you? You seem to think this is all somehow "unfair". Like Henry Ford being "unfair" to all the horse shoers. Here's a tip your parents should have told you: The world isn't fair. YOU get out of it what YOU put into it. Staying stagnant on your skills and thinking the rest of the world won't surpass you because that wouldn't be "fair" is pathetic. What do you think people in the slums of Bengal think of your lifestyle? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and stop being so "unfair" to them by giving them half of what you have? Oh, that would require you to, you know, be "fair"

@@janofb Omg, this is beautiful!!!

If you're its you primary homestead, your property taxes can only go up a certain amount per year. It's 5% in Orlando. My $800,000 home has been paid off since 2004. I paid $3,500 in property taxes ladt year. But, I also get a deduction for being a widow since 2004.

oh ya, its hilarious. Wyoming regular folk avoid Jackson where possible and the people watching there is prime.

Should have encouraged Apartment Rises! Fair Trade Practices by Local Business Community. Rents are Negotiable but not the Goods and Services where Politicians can't afford to help.

Yeah that's true. Local politicians are the reason for their issues. Their short slightedness has made this happen.

Just that part of Wyoming. Teton County is basically a colony of California and has been for a while.

💯💥🎓🏆

Lauren, move to a socialist country.

Capitalism makes poor people get richer. Our poor people have houses full of stuff and iPhones, cars, etc. Poor people of other nations don’t have all this material wealth. Capitalism is great. If you want socialism move to Venezuela or China.

@@MichelleNovalee That’s too much truth. Angry people who don’t like work will be offended.

@@MichelleNovalee If someone is earning $300k/yr and cannot afford a house in a community, something has gone horribly wrong with the system. $300k/yr is part of the top 2%...if the 2% cannot live there, we are in big trouble.

The capitalist sure are enjoying it. So it seems.

They will build huge dorms outside of town for the workers.

The people get the government they deserve

In the US, it does not matter who you vote for.

@jenkomaro world class skiing, hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting are some top reasons why many want to live in Jackson. The scenery is gorgeous. It never gets old to see bison, elk, grizzly bears, moose and bald eagles.

Jackson has always been kind of lame, the Tetons are amazing, however.

TAXES‼️‼️‼️

The Rich move there to get away from all the A-holes. I would too if I could afford it.

No state income tax, so if you own a home there and have a very high income or corporation it starts to make much more sense. Vacation home/tax strategy. I mean, that's how Liz Cheney did it anyways. 🤣 Jackson surrounding area is beautiful but as a Wyoming resident, I agree, Jackson itself is pretty meh.

Get with the Rural Counties!

Your house is worth 3x more but cost 4x more to move. So value lost right?

Yup, it’s not a Black / White thing it’s a poverty thing. Rupaul ironically bought tens of thousands of acres on the other side of Teton and displaced a lot ranchers.

Nope and she said super gentrification. At least in the city we have a chance. But not in the country apparently.

Strategically planned funneling.

White or black, were all at the bottom of the ladder.

This is gonna end when you got to start to have Fair Tax Codes.

@@lokesh303101 In the United States, the top 1% of income earners earn 26% of all the income and already pay 46% of the total income tax collected. How much higher should it be? And property taxes, well, those are a tax on wealth, right? Aren't we all in favor of weath taxes?

@@jonathantatum8437 Thank Bro! Wealth Taxes are in Liquidity, Tangible Asset Taxes are of Hardcash in Nature, Intangible!

We do tax the rich. The lower half of the people in the U.S. pay no taxes and demand and receive lots of services.

You don’t even pay taxes. Take a seat.

@@yesi6058 do your homework, the rich are being taxed and then they spread the cost to ignorant people like you if your buying. You probably have an EBT card. Top 1% pays 45.88 of all income taxes - meaning top 1% accounts for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90% combined . 2024 data from the government accounting office - IRS first quarter data

​@@carolr7823We don't tax them enough!! Most hide their money and have a whole fleet of tax attorneys helping them figure out ways to NOT pay taxes. Stop blaming those with little to no money and focus on where the $$$$ and power lies!!

@@Hat65The top 1% pays 64% of all taxes. I know, that F’s up your narrative.

Local Business Community can take the advantage of unique Local Made Goods to Promote Local Economy where the Delivery Sector like Amazon Lacks.

Is that a shock? 7.4 million for most places in Cali. At least Wyoming isn’t overrun with homeless.

It's been this way in Jackson since the 80's, nothing really news breaking about this.

Montrose?

Exactly. I bet you can list where all of the people who forced the change came from, too … there’s a pattern there. It’s a social and ethical disease. 🦠

This isn't new, Jackson has been this way for 40+ years. You just didn't hear about it as much as Aspen or Park City. Park City is for peasants, full of condos. Jackson Hole has better skiing, way better mountains and what used to be a Cowboy culture that is mostly fading away now as the billionaires are edging out the millionaires.

Hasn't Santa Fe always been like that tho?

@@RoseanneSeason2 Jackson has too, for at least 40+ years. This is nothing new.

Answering my own question here; They would do like they do in other seasonal/resort towns, Custer SD for instance, bus in seasonal immigrants, house them in a local hotel, then bus them out at the end of the season to go work somewhere else. Now you know why elites need open borders.

Vacation homes for the worlds Uber rich

You've clearly never been, lol.

Like 4 places like that in Colorado alone. I think this makes 3 in Wyoming.

It's happening everywhere. Strategically planned funneling. Getting the masses to move themselves into designed areas of affordable housing.

@@marywinn8953 I've seen you in Jackson many times I've seen you in Bondurant I see you and Hobback Junction I'll see you in Driggs I'll see you in Dubois

I'm a nomad and I travel around the country hiking, going to national parks, etc. I still have yet to go to Jackson. I see no point in going there unless you are a millionaire

You are saying that you will not go to Jackson unless I am a millionaire?

too poor?

@ziwer1 ill say it. I'm too poor. Most of America is as well so I aint tripping

It used to be a quant old cowboy town with fun shops and a rustic spot near yellowstone and grand teton NP's to stay. You are right, the town itself isn't that amazing to someone from out of state. Its sort of the juxtaposition of old west, harsh winters and out of state money.. When you hear its wealthy, that doesn't mean like LA wealthy with fancy shopping and lambos, its more like the Colorado type of wealthy. Big log houses, raw land and Land Rover Defender type of money.

Yes Bro! If not Expensive then whole of the Earth 🌎🌍🌏 lives in Beverly Hills.

All of New England is. If you dont have a 6 figure job in NY or Boston, good luck..

The one that is for sale for 40 Million?

At the end, Politicians work for themselves.

Have you researched IRS statistics?

Rules are made for those who don’t understand that rules are just as faulty as those who made them. All rules are made entirely for those who only know to follow them. The rich know that, and they pay handsomely to work around those rules. Most of the richest register very little personal income, so pay very little in taxes. 🧠👈

Republicans work for the Rich!
