Schechter: JH should be green model

The Jackson Hole News&Guide has at least two real estate related stories this week – one on foreclosures and another an update on the Jedediah’s House of Sourdough story I mentioned on Monday.

Neither story is online but both deserve comment and I’ll try to follow up later this week. But if you only have time for one piece in the weekly, as usual go straight to economist Jonathan Schechter’s column, which is online.

Schechter’s writing, whether you accept his theories and conclusions or not, is must read for anyone interested in the future of this valley. This week he continues to beat the “sustainability” drum and repeats his call for the Jackson Hole community to become “the world’s first certified green resort community.”

While his topic is rarely specifically Jackson Hole real estate, his material offers a fundamental and invaluable understanding of the dynamics that drive regional values.
