A very quick property search…
A very quick property search shows that homes that are ski in/out for that resort start at 1.2 million and go up from there. The condos look like they're at around 450-500k. So yeah, if his priority is to drive an EV and ski then the condos are affordable where a single family residence would be more than twice the price plus the condo probably has amenities like a pool/gym, etc. it's not for us to judge other people's financial decisions. No one bats an eye when someone renting in a trailer park forks over $70k for a new truck. 🤷♀️ It's all about your priorities. Would I pay 450k to live in a ski resort condo with an HOA? Heck no, but I also don't care to ski. The real issue here is that the HOA is blocking him from installing a charger allowed by law.
