Phil Weiser: “Housing prices have gone up [in Pagosa Springs].”

“Affordability is what I hear again and again. There's so many people, teachers, firefighters, police officers who can't afford to live in communities where they work. Pagosa Springs, for example. Housing prices have gone up [in Pagosa Springs]. They're having trouble attracting law enforcement. People say I can't afford to live there. People who are in Steamboat Springs and law enforcement, they've got to live all the way in Craig and commute.” (02:38–02:41)
