(2,574 posts)Home prices and rents going up. Wealthy people buying vacation homes that remain vacant because of Covid, or buying homes to use as vacation rentals.
Businesses can't find workers. Even satellite communities where rentals were available and rents were cheaper have no places for rent.
Recently tried to move my somewhat well to do disabled 83 yr older brother over here, and there is nothing for rent anywhere in the area, except rentals for $2000 a month that were $750 a month before Covid.
On weekends the more easily accessible outlying National Forest areas are dotted with expensive motor homes and travel trailers, and toy haulers, as well as lower budget tent campers.
More tourists, few service workers. Local pizza joint is take out only because they can't find workers, which exposes another problem: no mask mandates in the area causing service workers to look for safer employment elsewhere, as Covid rates are rising here again.
