One gentleman who works at the airport explained to us that “there just seems to be no self-awareness among a lot of [wealthy] people that right down the road there’s like thirty trailers with fifteen people living in them, sleeping in shifts.” Part of the problem, he says, is that in Teton County, the wealthy “don’t want to see discomfort … people move here because they want comfort—and probably more mental comfort and mental peace more than anything—but poor people shatter that.”
