COMMENTARY: Food Desert in a Ski Town?
My subject today is the lack of affordable, healthy, food in the resort town of Telluride, Colorado.
I've talked recently about the failure of our new regional transit authority, SMART, to provide usable transit to nearby affordable housing and how poor wastewater planning is limiting that housing.
The food issue goes to these same decent living points in an elitist town.
Telluride is not a food desert in the typical urban, inner city, sense- quality food is available here, but the cost is prohibitively high for many and the comparison, though not exact, is relevant.
