I've hiked throughout this area. It is probably less distinguished than the land upon which your house, my house, the
school, the roads, the golf course or anything else within city limits has been built. Scruffy lodgepole, ponderosa and
some fir. I laughed out loud when I saw it had been designated an "Area of critical concern."
At some point McCall is going to have to decide whether it wants to be inclusive and have affordable housing, or
whether it wishes to be an exclusive, high cost area where every project is fought to the dirt. (npi) People like to talk the
former, but they act the latter. The very length and complexity of the process, and the consideration given the NIMBYs
inflates the cost of any project and the eventual price of homes therein.
Thanks for your ear.
