Crazy idea here: Maybe try building some apartment buildings.

  Sounds great if I want a bunch of crime and no kids. I'm only trying to be as flippant as the parent comment here.

  Nobody wants to build housing there, especially now, because they can’t profit enough to justify the risk. Employee housing at ski resorts faces the same problem. Profit. It is very bold to argue for building more housing without accounting for the role of profit in priorities.

    But why can’t they profit on building housing in an area with low supply and high housing prices? NIMBY laws?

    That employers are shutting down without enough workers yet it's unprofitable to make housing for the workers suggests a deeply broken and dysfunctional market!

  Local zoning and building rules made that difficult for a few decades. Though buildings at ski base areas which look like fancy apartments were okay to build because real estate developers got paid and towns get paid big yearly property taxes. Timeshares are profitable.
