Proud2serve, I agree with every thing you say except your last two words. Hopefully you meant lower income and not lower class.

jeep, thank for the link, and it doesn't show J.C. as a partner. Maybe he spoke of being a Prtner in the broadest sense of the term. Just being affiliated with them, makes him a partner?

I was in a meeting with him re: DI and he called Green Courte his partners. He is not just the broker. You should ask him about the vision he has for Steamboat Springs. His statement to the group, meeting with him on Thursday eve, was something along the line of, I have a vision for Steamboat Springs, it may not be everyone's vision but it is mine. I might not have the words exact but it is the gist of it.

“It's way to late now to do anything but move away.” That is your opinion and you are welcome to it. My parents also grew up during the depression. Big Whoop! I am not impressed by your sermonizing and what the heck, while I am at it I am not a sir, but of the female species. I have owned and run a couple of businesses in town, and owned 3 houses. A bad partnership and subsequent lawsuit that went the other way(the judge being the one with the girlfriend that was arrested) led me to buy a place in DI so that my kids could finish school here, where they were born. My pay is on the higher side of 25 per hour and I work full time. You seem to think I am complaining about my situation, I am not. There are more important things in life to care about than the investments you make in material things. The last time I looked you can't take it with you. So glad you have a second house to go to. Get away from the kids, wow, glad I am not your kid. I like having mine around me, and the grand child as well.
Face it ID, your reality is not my reality.
For that I am thankful!!

I have been here for 30 years, raised 4 kids, all of them either college grads on well on their way to being one. I have a full time job, contribute to the local economy by spending most of my paycheck here. (No warrants out for my arrest, American citizen, pay my taxes, don't have any debt, pick up after my dog, etc.) But, because I live in Dream Island, you think I should move. Who died and left you folks in charge of who can or cannot live in Steamboat Springs? Do any of you naysayers know people that live in Dream Island personally? This negative blather that some of you are writing is amazing to me. First of all I am not asking for a hand out or a freebie from any of you (ID04sp you seem to never have a nice thing to say about those who you feel are less fortunate than yourself. Didn't your parents teach you any compassion or empathy?) so why is it I should move? Yes I could have applied and probably gotten in on some of the affordable housing available in the area. Yes, I did know when I bought my mobile home that there was a likely chance I would someday be displaced and lose what, if any, equity I might have gained. So what is every ones beef about making the park nicer? Better homes for those of us that are owners, a 99 year lease on the property that our homes sit on that can be sold along with the homes (this is one of the proposals from J. C. hmmm, those initials seem vaguely familiar) How about we work together and make this a reality. The neighbors I have here in the park are the same as your neighbors, there is no blanket phrase that would cover the residents here. We are your neighbors as well. Isn't this community ( S.S.) well known for its ability to come together and help one another? Where is that helpfulness in this regard. None of the folks that live here are asking for a handout. This may be prime real estate on the river but it is apparently zoned mobile home park. They always seemed to put the mobile home parks on the river and next to the tracks because no one else wanted to live there. Now that the rest of you have discovered the benefits of living on or near the river it is seen as prime real estate and those of us living here should move to Kansas or Missouri or just anywhere far, far away.
I will reiterate, we are not asking for a handout. We live here and if that offends you then close your eyes when you drive by and deal with your own baggage. We will deal with ours

Wasn't he the guy that was run over by a fellow driving back to Kremmling and assumed he hit a deer. I think he called it in when he got to Kremmling as having hit a deer in the road. That was when he was informed it was a man he had hit that was going down Rabbit Ears on a long board lying on his back. I don't think there were any charges pressed against the driver.
Of course maybe you are talking about another one of the night riders, there were a bunch of them that used to do that until one was killed.

bloggy, I have a few squirrels in my yard that you could recruit,
you need to be quick though before the neighborhood cats turn them into breakfast.

So sorry to lose some of the locals that make Steamboat Springs what it is, or should I say what it was. I'm in DI for now but who knows what the future will bring. Saratoga, Wyo. looks good to me, sorta like SS in the 70's. My kids still want to be here so will hang on as long as possible. With the Cook purchase of DI who knows how long that will be. It has been a good run and I love all of the real people here.
