Care to elaborate? Is this in reference to Vail? Or did Stowe residents crowd fund a land purchase?

Edit: Did some digging and think this is what was being referred to

If anyone else has more info chime in.

Bit conflicted with some of the land trusts. On one hand it's good to keep from over building on land and preserving it for all to enjoy on the other hand it just continues to make it more difficult and expensive to develop the state to appropriately house residents.

Like Stowe would build something for the poors.... we all know it would have been McMansions or high-end condos.
