You guys are hysterical. I mean, I get where you are going with this and I get why, but you’re missing the real “WHY” this project is happening in the first place. I moved to Coeur d’Alene, ID in 1997. I bought 10 acres bordering millions of acres of public land. I designed a house on engineering paper, met with an architect , had plans drawn up and had the house built. It was technically in Harrison, ID on the east side of the lake. I had $270,000 in the entire project and lived there until 2004. For grins, here’s a link to what Zillow thinks it’s worth now; enjoy the beautiful pictures and view, they make me really badly miss that place! Oh, and they have it valued over $ 1,000,000 now.

Thank you Komyfornians with loads of cash! Same thing has happened in Sandpoint, which is the town below Schweitzer. Plane and simple. Schweitzer needs employees and it’s too darn expensive for people to live there on what they can make working on the mountain. If Schweitzer pays them enough so the can afford to live there, your lift ticket would cost $300 per day or more which would kill business. This is their solution. Hopefully it does not go the way of coal mines and company stores in the past. If I remember correctly, there is already a shopping area in Pondery near to where they are building those apartments. I’m sure more will build up after they complete these, but the shopping mentioned in the article likely already exists.
