Sun Valley - Retirement Community for the Rich - 5/22/2010
Young people living in Sun Valley, unless they have a trust fund can expect to have a difficult time here. The average age seems to be approx 78. Any business that is worth something has gone under or is in the process of going under as the land that the business was occupying is turned into luxury condominiums. Youger people (under 50) are being pushed further and further south. There is a real effor to try and keep these younger people in the community (Sun Valley) where they work.

People leaving for greener and more affordable pastures making the town of Ketchum almost a ghost town...very sad. Businesses come and go...literally in months or weeks. "Affordable" housing...can't even think of anything to say about this.
Visit often, the mountain is never crowded...maybe a bit at holidays but all
