Who sold them the land ?

When i lived and worked in Moab, not becoming another Vail or Aspen Colorado and combating light pollution were a priority. But there was the more powerful group that called such ideas merely dirty hippie pipe dreams. Now when i visit there is a sense of profound sadness for the only place I've ever called home. Perhaps we should reincarnate : The Monkey Wrench Spirit ?

People simultaneously angry about housing shortages and housing developments.

I think you mean 'affordable' housing shortages and 'luxury' housing developments. The average worker and resident in Moab is being priced out of the city.

resort style housing is not the same as housing, its large, tall, and very expensive tailored to only the most rich of clientele. Ever see what happened to park city? that's what is happening to moab bit by bit. Thats not a housing shortage, its a takeover.

People can and should be angry about the endless, cancerous growth in Utah, which causes both of those things.

What a beautiful creek.

So Sad 😭

This is incredibly sad

Out-of-state investors come here they got the money they will push you out for all the elites. Promontory all the rich communities what do you think's happening.

Our greedy government officials are allowing this state to be destroyed, one piece of land at a time. When are Utahn’s going to wake up and start voting for their children’s future, its pathetic. 💔😓🙏🙏

The EPA can shut them down if they want to.

Follow the campaign contributions

Buyers will be absolved of all responsibility and insurance will rebuild on the same lot after it floods

People from Moab are too late I have eaten at the Poplar place in 1974 1 Moab only had one traffic light it's all over now baby blue

Sounds nice! I wanna move there.

You are too broke to even think about it.

Preposterous reporting. A complete non-story. “Developers developing land in rural part of state.” These people simultaneously complain about poor economy in the area and protest influxes of economy. They truly do not see their own contradiction - and it appears many of the commenters here don’t either.

Proof that some people have more money than brains. It worse in the state of Confusion (California).

The US population is growing and people need homes, acting like its okay for you to live there but nobody else is hypocritical...as long as the development is done with all the proper environmental precautions it will be a great habitat for humans that need homes!

A hippie centric report. Its private land, taxes paid ,they have right to develop. Moab was once unplowed ground. And ironically, moab has flooding this week. Nobody died.

What a sin.

No problem gobbling up tens of thousands of acres of valuable farmland to build multi family hamster cages though.... where does this madness end...???

So dumb and dangerous

The housing situation in America is tuning into a 3rd world country.
