Vail’s Affordable Housing Kerfuffle & the Sheep

What is happening? There is a kerfuffle involving affordable housing in Vail, Colorado. Sounds like a punch line for a joke, and yet it is not.

Why is this important? Vail Resorts owns land upon which it wants to build affordable housing for its work force. Vail City Council condemned the land to protect the big horn sheep. Cannot make this up.

How will this be important? Vail Resorts say the City Council oks ” high-end construction while trying to shut out affordable housing. “
