Rees Consulting has consulted in every ski town and down valley community in the Colorado Rockies and in many areas in the Tetons, Sierras, Cascades and Northern Rockies. High-cost mountain resort communities have long lacked sufficient workforce housing because home prices are driven far beyond what local employees base wages to earning tourism-based wages can afford. Communities are threatened by labor shortages, commuter-created congestion and loss of the middle class.
