Rob,

why aren't you openly supporting the re-development of chair 7? a large percentage of the development was suppossed to be deed restricted housing, which would help foster a (almost non-existant) middle class within telluride city limits. (and it would have added hot-beds) with more affordable housing, more locals would live here, work here, eat here, and shop here. if you are truely concerned about our local business owners you would help the knee-jerkers realize that pushing locals to other communites (like ophir, rico, norwood, ridgway, and beyond) kills local businesses or prevents new ones from thriving (and lets not get into the commuter society the liberal "no grow-thers" have created here...isn't telluride supposed to be on the forefront of environmental life styles?...the daily commuter traffic screams CLEARLY NOT!). our local middle/working class is a vibrant group that has always added to the physical beauty of telluride and is being pushed out of the valley at an alarming rate. if you want to support the community, locals, and local business, support the redevelopment of lift 7.

and by the way, the comments/points you made regarding the real estate community are old and tired. there are a lot of great people in this group. every professional group has its bad apples...doesn't yours? its about time you and the rest of the real estate bashers figured that out. also, realtors are some of the biggest supporters of community non-profits, clearly surpasing the time or financial commitments made by the many others in this community. through the contribution of funds from the real estate transfer tax, real estators have also helped fund the town of telluride for the last 3 decades. in short, get over the realtor bashing (it actually makes you come across less sophisticated). and show a little respect, they've definitely earned it.
