Photos like this one offered up by planners for Jackson and Teton County, Wyoming paint a quaint, sanguine picture of what's proposed for the Northern South Park Neighborhood. In fact, Robert Frodeman says, it will exacerbate traffic congestion that is already bad, further fracture wildlife habitat and will not make an appreciable dent in the lack of affordable housing which is driven by market forces. In Big Sky and Bozeman, too, developers claim they need more land to to build affordable housing units but it's coming a huge cost to other things citizens value. Is it a good trade off or is it just a ruse promoted by the construction industry? Photo courtesy Jackson/Teton County planning offices
