In Aspen, where resistance to more new "monster homes" has great zeal, there is a proposal to raise the amount of new development that must go for modest housing from 40% to 60%. In Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where a 14,000-sq.-ft., three-bedroom log cabin is going up, building inspector Dennis Johnson says a campground for low-wage earners might not be a bad idea...
