Meanwhile, Mitt Romney&#8217;s kid, Josh, and Nate Brockbank want to capitalize on that and build a mixed-use facility around Richardson Flat. Why? Because they want to make money.<br><br>The downside to Park City and Summit County is that we won&#8217;t be able to exercise planning over any of it. It will only make traffic worse. The shit-show that can be Wasatch County will come within a stone&#8217;s throw of Quinn&#8217;s Junction. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, Wasatch County will still be a problem for Park City in the long run, but this will exacerbate it and accelerate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason that a city in another county can annex pieces of land in a different county is due to the legislature&#8217;s incompetence. It doesn&#8217;t make any sense. The Utah Legislature was lobbied to do this a few years ago and the brilliant minds in SLC allowed this. The Legislature may repeal it due to citizen pressure but maybe not in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps Hideout will rule the day and Romney, et. al will get rich(er).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think too often we look to the government for solutions. Maybe the government will find one. Great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if we the people take things into our own hands we can influence things. If real estate agents put the community above their commissions they can influence buying decisions. Perhaps, you don&#8217;t show houses in Hideout. It&#8217;s your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you, as an average person, are asked about living in Hideout, you can tell them that everyone hates Hideout. You can tell them that buying a property there is the worst decision that they could ever make. If they live there, they will be a pariah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are out at a bar and someone tells you that they live in Hideout, you can respond, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221; and walk away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To those that have a property in Hideout and say, &#8220;This is not fair. It&#8217;s not our fault.&#8221; I respond with a simple statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Control your f****ing government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hideout, the town on the banks of the Jordanelle Reservoir, on the Wasatch County side of the map, is attempting to annex parts of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8776"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8776\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
