"I chose this essay for the same reason I wrote it: to call attention to what I believe are the five most important questions we in Jackson Hole need to ask ourselves if we are to have any reasonable chance of shaping our own future.
As powerful as they were before COVID, the forces of growth and change washing over the Tetons region are even stronger now. As a result, we can no longer take for granted many fundamental qualities about our ecosystem, community, and economy.
To address these challenges, we need to confront them head-on. The five questions I pose are an effort to do that:
Question 1. Our ecosystem: Is it still our priority?
Question 2. Our character: What do we value?
Question 3. Champagne tastes; beer budget: What is the proper role of government?
Question 4. Subsidizing local business: Whom shall we house?
Question 5. Gridlock: How much traffic are we willing to put up with?"
