With limited land, varying policies between counties, and environmental regulations to consider, it’s no wonder that housing development has been a challenge in the Basin. And after the COVID-19 pandemic increased remote workers who flocked to tourist destinations, housing issues for local workers were further exacerbated.
Though there are many similarities to housing issues around the Basin, each area faces its own set of challenges, from policies to land use to attitudes. But each area also has its own solutions. In this first article in the Tribune’s Housing Series, we’ll do a flyby of the current state of housing around the Basin, then dive into different topics as the series progresses.
