This Town Was Paradise, Then Everyone Started Working From Home


Questions: Group Work. 15 min. 

Discussion:

What are your thoughts on the piece?

Are there any similarities you note re: what is happening in Crested Butte and what is happening in Revy? Why or why not?

How do you think the expansion of remote work opportunities affects housing availability in ski towns? 

Is the influx of remote workers a positive for Crested Butte/Revy? Why or why not?

How would you suggest that Crested Butte work to solve their affordable housing shortage? 

What can Revy do to address our affordable housing shortage? Brainstorm.
