The mission of the Steamboat Springs Community Preservation Alliance (SSCPA) is to connect and collaborate with the entire community of Steamboat Springs to create effective solutions for a sustainable future, preserving community character for housing and short-term rentals.
We (Steamboat Springs Community Preservation Alliance) are moving forwards with efforts to educate the community on why a No Vote on the proposed 9% STR tax makes sense.
In our opinion, our first priority with any change is to do no harm to existing businesses and jobs. If the STR tax makes living in Steamboat even harder, it is counter to the goal of improving the lives of current residents.
The community needs to better understand and have buy-in to the Brown Ranch plan, which projects a significant expansion of Steamboat Springs. If new jobs are created, and more people are attracted to fill the housing, much of which will not be affordable or attainable, we could be making the situation worse.
Our support is for shovel-ready projects, such as those we have seen the YVHA develop in recent years within City Limits, that provide housing to the population living here. Not a development that will increase our population, generate even more traffic and overburden the existing business community for 20 years.
The STR tax places the cart before the horse. We need solutions to the housing supply that we can afford and all get behind.
