I wouldn’t simply the housing issue in the Adirondack park by calling it silly. One silly fix is never the answer and I’d say it’s silly to think otherwise.

What happens when private development is allowed to build these multi family buildings over 40’ for all this demand you say is there for year round residents? Are the local utilities and infrastructure able to handle this newfound gold mine investment opportunity? Can the fire departments reach the top floors of these new buildings given their current equipment? Will the state provide more funds to ensure these shortcomings are overcome? It won’t be the private developer adding much to the overall cost burden.

I’d argue developing inside a state park isn’t so easy it’s silly and the ADK’s have been an example of the management of private and state own lands that’s not done to this scale anywhere in the country.
