I didn’t mean to imply in any way that people can’t afford to live here, or that we would give it up because the cost of living has gone up – only that it has become much more difficult. The cost of housing has risen astronomically in the past five years, mainly due to non residents seeing Fernie as an ideal second home location. I know that some people have left in protest, but I (like most people) would prefer to pay a little more to live in paradise than to save cash by living in Calgary, or like Erica on another thread, in Coleman, and only get to enjoy Fernie once a month.
