I don't see where in the article they say there aren't schools, hospitals, etc. in town. I think the idea is that people who have jobs there but can't afford to buy homes would have to commute in from neighboring communities—sometimes a long way.
- Shog9 3y agoYep. If you drive around through any of these towns, upon leaving in any direction you'll encounter a mobile home park down the road just a ways, tucked into a valley or next to a railroad, somewhere the views aren't as valuable and the roads aren't as good. Inexpensive manufactured housing or RVs on tiny lots (that still cost too much to rent for what you get). That's where you'll live if you work most jobs in the town, if you're lucky; otherwise, you'll commute a lot further - potentially over dangerous mountain roads in icy conditions. Better hope I70 stays open...
