Colorado Voices: Mountain Town Housing Crisis
Increasing housing prices, rent, construction costs, more remote workers and short-term rental (STR) properties have created an environment that is making our state’s beloved mountain towns practically impossible to live in for the people who are at the heart of the community.
Rocky Mountain PBS has found affordable housing is practically non-existent in several cities and towns. We went to the towns to hear how people are coping with the crisis and solutions that are being attempted.
"Colorado Voices: Mountain Town Housing Crisis" aired on Thursday, December 16, 2021 on Rocky Mountain PBS. You can watch the full episode below.
