b wrote on November 16, 2006 9:28 AM I think this is a crock. Park County,s
future is in high priced Real Estate. This is well documented. There
are few good paying jobs here anymore, so whi the H*** is buying all
this over priced real estate ? Most are rich out of state
transplants, not the locals who are being pushed out.
