most of the folks there were middle class folks running little shops for the tourists in town.

Then they decided to build a ski resort...and we have a new Telluride, and an entirely "new" town on the top of the ski runs.

This is nothing new, looks like Bozeman is just the latest notable gentrification site.

I think as our society moves to more and more remote working you will see this happen more.
