Our small town will be affected by this for decades into the future. We require a large workforce to do all the jobs necessary for tourism...but we have almost no housing for those minimum-wage workers. The hundred homes burned were mostly the only places available for tourism workers, including a 35-unit mobile home park where the homes were owned by the owner and available for reasonable rent. The most likely outcome is that lots of tourism workers will leave the area due to lack of affordable housing. The City continues to encourage vacation rental dwellings (VRDs) that rent for hundreds per night instead of affordable housing. Over the past 25 years, most of the modest homes in town have been razed and replaced with two-story, 4-5 BR VRDs.
