Aspen, our evil twin Skippy, and Torre! Torre! Torre! | the Aspen beat

"...Aspen...city council...member...Skippy wants to impose another tax....

Skippy calls his new tax a “vacancy tax.”
You see, many of the houses and condos in Aspen are vacation homes...owned by people who, like Skippy, are rich, but, unlike Skippy, are not rich enough to live in Aspen full time...

For that, they get hated by Skippy. 

Why, asks Skippy, are those vacation homes sitting unoccupied 40 or 50 weeks a year while his local constituents have to pay Aspen rates for rentals?
...Skippy’s vacancy tax would penalize people who work elsewhere for a living by taxing their Aspen vacation homes unless the owner agrees to rent out rooms in his home, boarding house style, to the hoi polloi...
