How bad is the housing crunch in Colorado’s high country? Just look at census vacancy data.

Make it happen for yourself. Find a way. Don’t go whining that other people who succeeded are holding you back. I never could afford to live in a ski resort town and I was born in Colorado in 1975. I’m an engineer, work second jobs in hospitality for tips and manage properties. Still couldn’t afford it. Meanwhile people just sit back and complain on the internet that there is no opportunity. Well maybe don’t complain you can’t afford to live in the most expensive part of the most expensive states. There is so much opportunity, it takes years, maybe decades of work and subsidizing. It’s about making a good place for your future self when you’re in your 40’s or 50’s or older. When you finally succeed, you’ll hear all these people complaining how you’re holding them down.

I’m not swinging for the GOP but this entitlement BS is ridiculous, you’re basically working for the GOP agenda with all this sentiment. Great job chasing your own tail
