Meanwhile, entire communities like Lake Placid and Wilmington have watched residents leave because they couldn’t find affordable places to live.ROOST is now taking this data to developers, hoping to attract investment in year-round housing. But questions remain: Where should this housing go? Should we focus on smaller units in existing hamlets, or moderate-density development in towns? How do we build for year-round residents while the region remains attractive for vacation homes?We want to hear from you: What types of housing solutions do you think would work best for your community? What concerns do you have about new developments in your county? And what role should local residents play in shaping what gets built and where?Share your thoughts in the comments below.</div></body>
