High real estate prices in Jackson, Wyoming, highlight stark divide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- Real estate and housing costs in Jackson, Wyoming, have become unaffordable to many, even those who would be considered wealthy in most other places. It's causing a stark divide between those who can afford to live there and those who work in town but have been priced out of living there. Mark Strassmann has the story.

Hell, most people cant afford to live in Driggs!
That is exactly what I was thinking. Once Paul Allen moved there back in the day, Driggs lost its affordability, and its charm.
Funny how the pass can be repaired so quickly, money talks.
hilarious!
The pledge of allegiance is definitely a lie. We are divided by income
Boo-hoo. People whining cause they can't afford to live in Jackson Wyoming. Unfortunately, people that choose to work there have to figure a way. It's called adapting. Nobody owes you anything.
The level of inefficiency and corruption in this administration is becoming absurd. Those who are disabled and do not receive the support to which they are legally entitled make me sad. I sincerely thank you, Leah Foster Alderman. Imagine making $6k in four days with an investment of $1.5k.
That woman transformed my entire life for the better. Among the folks I've met, Leah appears to be the most trustworthy. I'm surprised you know her as well.
Isnt this is a result of captailism?
Centralized money is not capitalism. This is called socialism with a capitalism lipstick.
Google cantillon effect
and North Korea is the result of Socialism...
At best capitalism is a multilevel pyramid scheme auction going to the highest bidder.
No genius. Government makes monopolies free market doesn’t. Oh wait communism is good right.
Runaway capitalism,wealth inequality and Trump will destroy our country.
This problem is happening all over the world, and definitely all over the United States. Take a look at Hawaii where the locals can't even afford to buy a home in their own neighborhoods anymore.
Similar situation in coastal California, where the folks working in the service industry work in the beach communities, then commute sometimes 1-2 hours inland to where they can afford to reside.
You can add Lake Tahoe to this list.
Jackson, WY has limited private land in a beautiful area, it's landlocked by public land. Not much can be done to change that.
Hundreds of billions of dollars at zero percent interest (free money that doesnt have to be paid back anytime soon) was given to private equity and hedge funds in 2006-2020 (and its coming back in 2025 no matter who is president) which was used to "take America private" (youll rent forever and you'll like it) which facilitated buying up stocks and bonds (all time highs), businesses (1/2 of NYSE stocks have been bought out/disappeared), homes and apartment buildings (rentals and no starter homes to buy) made this happen, and the Federal govt. couldnt care less.
Jackson Hole isnt all that great. Its like driving through Aspen, Co. All show... no real substance....
Same here in HAWAII. OUTSIDERS, including Californians, are coming in, buying up housing and land, then pushing out islanders out of Hawaii, while no one does anything about it. All they care about is the highest bidder. But, Karma will come their way.
Let the rich live without services. Let them feel what we all feel. Let then show their true colors.
There will always be someone willing to work for them. Don’t want to provide them with services? The people pouring over the you know what to the south will be happy to take their money and commute from wherever to do it.😂 And these people are so wealthy, they will fly the help in from wherever to provide services. And everyone here is acting like Driggs doesn’t have the amazing view of the Tetons. People in Driggs are literally getting the same views for less. Sounds like a win to me!😂
The rich will figure it out....its called capitalism.......
Exactly the same situation for the Star Valley, Wyoming residents. If you didn't grow up there and inherit a piece of property, you must be near to wealthy to live there
That’s why they are lobbying for the invasion at the southern border. They aren’t worried.
this problem is as old as civilisation. Reagan ushered it in. he was an 'acting' President. Trump wants to raise the rent further.
Part of the issue is people asking $300,000 dollars for something that cost only $100,000 or less.
I just had this debate with the local realtor in my town. I paid $79,000 for my 1800 square foot house and 3/4 acre. I made no upgrades to the house in the 3 years I’ve lived in it, just maintained it. All I’m asking is what I paid and she is telling me to ask $134,000 for it. Why? I’ve done nothing to warrant such a price hike. Now if I remodeled or did landscaping sure I’ll add on the cost of that upgrade, but I’ve done nothing but maintained it. so why?
Price gouging is a result of greed. IMHO
overpopulation is the origin of almost all problems
@@BjornStyrmir it's like that in all of Wyoming.
Why!!?
Cause it’s MONEY 💰
Something is only worth what one is willing to pay for it. Your home could be worth $0 if you have no buyer. Also, unless you paid cash, you paid much more than the original purchase price.
"Who will be the backbone of all the services?"
Sun Valley ID is number 2 on the list. All ski resorts are going this direction and in my view all working staff should walk away.
agreed, why work for them? how much did Trump pay in taxes again? lol.
Same thing is happening in North Idaho. It happened in Stanley/Sun Valley a couple decades ago.
The top1% own as much wealth as the bottom 90% ? Da Fuq?🤔🇺🇸
Why are you even bothering to report something that was already old news 30 years ago? The economic dynamics in Jackson have been like this for more than 30 years back when I was considering moving there. I didn't move there because I didn't want to drive the pass from Driggs every day for a low paying job. It's the same story in any western ski town. It's just magnified in Jackson because it's perhaps the most beautiful place in the US with extremely limited land and quick airport access. Therefore the .000001 have homes there. Why not look into The Hamptons and places like that too? You will find the same situation. Surprise!
This is actually a darn good point. There is no reason to move to any place which is totally unaffordable. Yes, it is beautiful in Jackson. It is also unbearably cold in winter and is full of some of the most hateful rich snobs in the world. Jackson would be a horrible place to live.
Thank you for bringing this to the national attention.
Many people here do not know how difficult it is to survive in this state.
It is pretty disgraceful here how we make people drive a sketchy Road just because the wealthier don't want to scrub their toilets or make room for the people they ask to clean their homes.
There is no honor in M💩G💩 Wyoming.
°~•.☆.•~°
Why do people make that commute? Why not just refuse to work in Jackson Hole? It seems like the people interviewed in the clip could find good jobs in other communities and surely everyone working at the grocery stores and shops could find jobs in their own towns. Is the pay in Jackson Hole so much better that people put up with an hour-long commute?
It happened to Seattle, California, buying up all properties....
was happening besides cali folks
Revolt! Against what, I am not sure...please help me with that....Who should we revolt against?
Stop making these people rich.... don't buy their stuff!
The rich. Litter in their areas, tell their children how parents are lying about santa being real and drugs being bad. Never show them any kindness or respect. Do what you can to make them suffer, use your imagination
Thank you GOP for cutting taxes on the extremely wealthy as in top twenty percent of people in this country and the companies and corporations they either own or manage!
Lets keep doing this so that nobody but they can afford to live anywhere in the country!
Many desirable cities saw home prices triple and rent. Ski resort cities cant keep 'minimum' wage workers
GREED MAKES THE GREEN
Yes, but it creates a 1,000 more serious problems with it.
I am not sure what this means, but I am sure it does not warrant using childish all caps.
They should pass a federal law that a person/corporation can only own a limited number of houses. Rich people and rich corporations are bleeding this country dry. 😤
@downbythelakehouse9120 actions speak louder than words. Actions in the usa show it's a place only for the rich
As long as the GOP is cutting taxes on the top 20 percent of earners in this country this is exactly what is going to keep on happening everywhere.
As much as I find it wasteful having that many homes, you are asking the government to control what we can and cannot do. Doesn't sound like freedom at all.
That's Your Beautiful Capitalism Ha Ha !. Tax the rich 100% !
Spoken by a devoted communist.
2:41 They move in, you move out 🤔️
Worked there in the early 1990s during the summer while in college it’s always been an expensive place. We all drove 45 mins to work , living out west that’s normal. The reporter thinks it’s a big deal probably because he lives in nyc with everything condensed
It’s getting ridiculous every where we need change and WAY better pay
Does this make sense to anybody?
I lived there in the mid 2000's. Rented a 1br condo right in town next to Smiths Grocery for 1k per month. Similar condos for rent now are 4k for a studio to to 7-8k for a 1br
This is the problem with my Falls Church same exact problem
Move to Cambodia
Too hot.
It’s damn shame I feel the same pain in tampa bay Florida
Was just there. Heard people talk abt living in Idaho and driving into Jackson. Beautiful town and I was very happy to be just a visitor! Hope to go back!
That's outrageous!
Its happening in Golden CO too.
Great video!
3:32 Wow, that collapsed road northwest of Jackson (route 22) is already re-opened. I guess when you have boat load of money, you can put pressure on these politicians to fix the road quickly. It only took them 3 weeks to fix that road. Considering the foundation collapsed; normally it will take several months.
It’s any resort town Aspen anywhere in Colorado on I 70 that’s next to a nice ski resort.. Park city Utah. These are all places one can no longer live in the winter unless they figure out some shady employee housing.
I work for these rich people and was born in jackson. So sick I'll never be able to afford a house there. It's okay I love commuting everyday 🤦♂️
then go on strike what are they gonna do cook their own food for once
@@lithium25693i thought strikes were illegal in Idaho, they be better off bringing their guns downtown and occupying all the starbucks.
@@lithium25693 going on strike will just make u loose your job....trust me people who buy 7 million dollar homes can fin a cook
Congrats on your good attitude!
Your kids are going to have to move farther away if they intend to live there as long as you.
Thankyou very much ❤
This is everywhere though even here in Vegas we’re slowly becoming like California with pricy real estate and need better jobs
Creating wealth and gaining financial freedom isn't as difficult as lots of people think. Through the right information, building wealth and staying financially stable forever is way easy. Investing is the only true way to earn a great income and staying wealthy forever..
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH...)📌🙌
Most people think, investing in crypto is all about buying coins and leaving it to rise, come on it takes much analysis to be a successful crypto trader.
Trading in Bitcoin now is the wisest thing to do now especially beginner....
🎉
It is extraordinary to have faith in someone who can consistently generate profits under any circumstances and who never disappoints.
His name is HARVEY BARRETT FX👀
This is happening in other areas as well. I think even where I live
It is not happening in Colby, Kansas. You are not from Colby, are you?
Single family homes should be for people only, not investors. This is not sustainable.
What is the problem with the ultra poor $200k incone bracket crying on
Personally is very hard for me to feel sorry for people like this because they have been driving this issue for many years and when anyone spoke out about it EXAMPLE like Occupy Wall Street. They were told to get a job and they're a bum.
Now 10yrs+ later from that protest that I thought was very valid but somehow it got made political. Likely because they wanted people to shut up and fight between themselves and not the big issue. Put 10 years plus later you see that is a ginormous problem in the United States that the working class isn't getting paid enough money and they need credit cards to fund their ability to live. Now like what I originally said it's hard for me to feel sorry when the working class once a full size SUV or a full-size truck just to get groceries. If people decide to put their foot down and say NO to Big corporations they're going to lose money and they're going to have a change. But the people are so stupid that they are creating the modern day of Kings and Queens in society.
But hey what do I know. I'm on the Spectrum right 🤷♂️....🙄
Also this is not being said as a political argument.
This is being said because the government doesn't really care. They want you to pay your taxes and then they want you to go. So because of that people need to start being Smarter with your daughter and as soon as somebody is giving you a hard time you should stop spending that dollar.
There has been many times in my life that I stopped spending money somewhere out of dislike for something they did to me or something they did overall that's a company. A $1.00 has power. Regardless of how you feel
Neofeudalism is the word you are looking for, and it's been on the fast track since Reagan.
Excellent comment. You're getting there. Now, you just have to accept that the only way to have a community is by force; no one is going to do it willingly... most people will always take advantage of others.
@@rustyshackle917 You're speaking truth my friend. 100% TRUTH.
@@DistrustHumanz that's why they created "checks and balances." Unfortunately, the rich all but eliminated all the "checks."
Yup
Come on Wyoming politicos time to build affordable housing in Jackson for the worker bees
The eroding middle class
This is what cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations creates.
There needs to be housing policy.
Thank you. A housing policy. What sort of housing policy are you thinking of? You mean like on an Indian reservation?
@@roberthenry9319 Some kind of framework. To deter the boom and bust. To deter big companies destabilize the housing--big companies are pushing the idea that Americans now want to rent, what a joke.
Wow, a bunch of whining socialist in here. Move to Colorado if you don't like Wyoming! FJB!
this is only the beginning
My guess is NIMBYism is taking place. What exactly is the answer then? Do you just say to people, you can't buy a home here if your income and/or wealth is above a certain amount? Do you, by law, put a ceiling on how much a person can sell a home for, or rent home/apartment for? Do you just outlaw short-term rentals completely, even though the owner is paying property taxes and thus, ought to have a right to rent their property out? It seems to me this is just markets at work... but why aren't new homes, multi-family and single-family, being built to meet demand?
NIMBYism is almost always what creates this problem. People who own property to live in or rent out short or long term, use their "property rights" as the excuse as to why they should be able to do whatever they want with their property under any circumstances. Fair enough, but they only have property rights over THEIR property. This idea that somebody can dictate that no new homes are built, such as a multifamily apartment complex or condo complex to support workforce housing, when it's not their property, has GOT to go. "Public Comment" is fine, but its up to council and mayor to recognize the city needs and not bow to pressure from NIMBYs. The only leverage NIMBYs have is that they'll leave... let them. A race to the bottom in housing prices is what many people claim this city needs.
Keep voting democratic kids
There MUST be wealth distribution. Wealth Tax!
Yea give me some of his money. I’m broke and DESERVE to have what he has.
Nah. Let's just keep letting the GOP keep cutting taxes on the extremely wealthy and the companies and corporations they run so that the rest of us cannot afford anything in this country again in the future!
Do you honestly believe the federal government is going to manage any new wealth tax appropriately? The same government who outspends all current taxes and is +$32Trillion in debt?
@@Brian-es9eyfor the moment who cares what the government does with the money they tax?
The government taxes people like you and I at a more than 15 percent tax rate while these extremely wealthy folk get about a 3 percent rate for themselves.
Would you rather just let this continue while these same exact wealthy reduce wages in the country at the same time they pay less taxes just to stick it to the government because it doesn't spend tax money wisely???
Jackson beautiful area but worst people and city in all of wyoming. Looks like wyoming but doesn't feel like it.
That’s stupid
Thank you GOP for cutting taxes on the extremely wealthy as in top twenty percent of people in this country and the companies and corporations they either own or manage!

Jackson WY from someone that lives here...
80% Mexican.
15% out of state rich / trustafarians
5% Moldovan / Romanians
It's unsustainable
The wealthy need to pay taxes
Be content. Who cares… let them have what they want.
The majority of the property taxes should be paid by those who created the damn environment of take what you want, when you want it, and to hell with everyone else.
She asked, "Who is going to work?" I think Joe Biden and the Dems have your answer.

Oh hell no! Won't live there if they give me a house!
@@pamwilkinson3751 It looks like a beautiful state. Some of my family came from Sweden and they said.
The United States is so big and different in so many places that in some ways you don't have to leave the country.
An that place reminds me of some places of Sweden
Well, you are lucky, Pam. No one is going to be giving you a house in Jackson, Wyoming. Actually, no one will be giving you a house in Shoddy Daisey, Tennessee, either. You ever been to Shoddy Daisey?
Can tell the gal running for mayor is a big liberal. She uses all the lefty buzz words..."unsustainable', affordable housing, unequal etc Truth is in some areas there is no such thing as affordable housing. Here is Calif greasy Gavin is mandating that all towns have affordable housing. Places like Huntington Beach are fighting back. Where I live they want to rip up an old beautiful golf course to build so called affordable housing..... I say if its too expensive move someplace cheaper or get a better paying job....life is not fair or equal
Peoplr, stop making these billionaires rich! Dont buy their crap!

Rich people want to live in nice places- this is not news! This report is akin to reporting on a glacier slowly melting… we all know it’s going to happen eventually so relax on the constant reporting which is just causing more divide between humans!
OK. I will.
No one is forcing people to work and try to live in Jackson .
Besides, if people are really hell bent on moving to Jackson, they should move to Jackson, Mississippi. That way, they can tell people they live in Jackson. It is probably cheaper there, too. Problem solved.
God broke path and segregation
Jessica wants multi family affordable housing, but why? Jackson's charm is its for the ultra rich, there's thousands of cities with multi family affordable housing
Exactly. Take Trenton, New Jersey for example.
I never felt entitled to live where i was born. When I couldn't live at the level I wanted to, I moved. If you don't like the humans, don't work for them, don't provide them anything.
So what, every luxury resort is the same. More jealousy of people with more money then you have.
This is nothing new. It has been this way since the 50’s. I don’t know why it is suddenly CBS news now that a portions of the pass collapsed.
Not true
@@Owlshadow. What year did you move to Jackson? If you even live there….. Because if you moved there recently (past 20yrs) and you think this situation is unique to just this time line than you are delusional. This has always been a symptom of supply and demand in Jackson/Teton county. Only 3% of the land in Teton county can be sold. And it has, and the big ranches that are still there taking up, and keeping Jackson pretty, have conservation clauses on them put in place back in the 50’s. Jackson is a microcosms of what is happening in the US.
This guy is telling the truth about the land loophole in Teton County WY.
Hi everyone! I'm new to the world of cryptocurrency and would love to learn more about how to get started with crypto trading. Could anyone please share some tips on which cryptocurrencies to consider investing in and when might be a good time to make an investment? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for your time and help❤..
Congratulations on starting your crypto trading journey! I understand that you want to make a profitable investment, and that's a
verv understandable goal. Get yourself someone who understands the market very well and is also professional in placing
trades. Thats the key
Trading with a professional crypto broker helps a lot when you're into crypto investments
I cain't recommend a crypto to invest in , however I can advise you not to fall in love with any & to treat them like the stock market buy low sell at a profit and don't be shy and ride round trip on them and don't get to greedy either unless you wish for some hard bought lessons that will cost you dearly.
FYI: Remember at least this. 'Crypto' is the term used to describe Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster - and others.
Goodluck...
Who the hell is talking about cryptocurrency? Did you comment on the wrong video? But just watch. You Tubers will switch from commenting on Jackson, Wyoming and start commenting on "the world of cryptocurrency". What a country.
Just stop supplying your hard earned sweat equity there. Maybe the Billionaires can staff their own shops with themselves and their family members. Wait, 11 million plus illegal immigrants just came through the border. Ship them to Jackson. 🥸
This problem is happening all over the world, and definitely all over the United States. Take a look at Hawaii where the locals can't even afford to buy a home in their own neighborhoods anymore.
I don't think it's happening in Hastings, Nebraska. Is it?
@@roberthenry9319 probably yes, to a smaller extent. Even those crappy stock market investors are now buying real estate and driving prices up.
