noone’s trying to insult you, jessica. once again you take things completely out of context! check this out though:

first of all…i’m a “little guy” as well…i just happen to own a home.
a town like fernie couldn’t survive without seasonal workers?? the only reason we need seasonal workers is because of the ski hill! all i’m saying is that fernie can survive just fine without the ski hill. we did for 100 years prior. now we have expanded into tourism, and that’s awesome for us…but like sparkes said, fernie would survive if we had 10 more bad winters! sure, people like yourself would leave, but the rest of us would stick around to live, thrive, and marvel being lucky enought to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. i like the hill…i really do…i love snowboarding…but there is more to this heavenly place than that.
ok now i’m going to quote you again from your original post:

“First of all, you obviously cannot afford your own mortgage, therefore you rely on these tenants.”
ok now check out what you wrote in your most recent post:

“I also didn’t mean that landlords cannot afford their mortgage, but that no one is forcing them to rent out their place.”
HUH????? that doesn’t begin to make sense. you contradict yourself.
no one with half a brain would enter into a mortgage and then rely on tennants to pay it off. you might want to just think about that before you start talking mortgages to the rest of us hard working homeowners that choose not to rent because of our experience with crappy tennants.

“If renters are such a problem, sell the place.”
why would one even entertain such a notion?? i’m not gonna sell my house because of problem renters…i’m just not going to rent!
i hope you don’t find that this post is insulting…really it’s not. i’m just trying to point out that your point of view is a little…skewed for lack of a better word. 
however, allow me to help. i think overall, what you’re trying to say is this:
to all homeowners: in order to avoid having bad tennants, don’t rent your place out! if you so choose to do so, for supplemental income, then you take the good with the bad.
now…doesn’t that sound a little better?? a little nicer?? a little more polite?? (ok ok gotta quote you just ONE more time!!!)

“Its time you stop bitching, and take the time to find a decent tenant. It is ignorant people like you that give Fernie’s seasonal staff a bad name.”
i have only found one person to be ignorant on this topic…no names mentioned.
MEEEOOOWWWWW!
