Many end up squeezing too many roommates into a unit, pony up for places that are difficult to afford on a liftie’s wages or settle for living outside the Park City area and commuting into and out of town.
The problem has become even more pronounced in recent years as property owners chase the profits of the nightly rental market and remove their units from the long- or medium-term housing stock.
