Housing in Paradise

Places like Lake Tahoe, Nantucket and Colorado ski country are playgrounds for the wealthy.

It all works well until those same workers don’t have a place to lay their heads at night. For this episode, Trey speaks with a few journalists across the country, who’ve been reporting about a shortage of affordable living accommodations for workers in affluent vacation communities.
