Vail Local Housing Authority Chairman Steve Lindstrom said the town is on track to meet the goal of 1,000 new deed restrictions — contracts that help control the use and price of units — in town by 2027. (Special to the Daily) Vail has been short of housing since the first gondola rumbled uphill in 1962. After years of more and less attention on housing, the town government seems serious about both keeping up, and catching up, with the need. In a recent presentation to the Vail Town Council, Vail Local Housing Authority Chairman Steve Lindstrom laid out some current efforts. Those efforts may be bolstered by a new system of demanding developers providing at least some housing for the jobs development creates.
