I’ve partaken in 2 protests, both for human rights. The first one I started in 2013, the second one I was the largest single donor to.

This is a call to action. If you complain about any housing-related situation, BECOME A MEMBER or shut up. If you are a contractor, excavator, engineer, architect or any other professional who knows about an existing structure needing to be demolished, CALL SHACKS ON RACKS. Any other option is a gross acceptance of the ugly wealth, profit gain and a blatant “f you” to recycling and the integrity of our community. It’s to easy and commonplace to just not care or even act like you care about existing structures and disposing of them. Where is the responsibility in doing the right thing?

Our community is in a SERIOUS housing crisis, contractors are knocking more structures down than get relocated (check out our demo map), we have people who bought property at 400k slapped a coat of paint on only to list it at 800k. We have homeowners who purchased at an affordable rate years ago who have now raised the rent to current “market value”. Do they know they are hurting their own community? We’ve 800+ realtors in Teton County. How many of them own a home here? It’s the same thought with anyone making decision within Town & County, do they actually live where they are creating and enforcing code? What about first responders? Do they live here so they can respond first? It’s wild to see people push this already unattainable community while totally accepting the fact that they commute or have high rent or don’t own their home. This isn’t normal, this isn’t sustainable, this isn’t how a community stays a community.

I don’t accept. My answer is “please, no thank you”.

If you don’t like something, do something about it. If it’s not working for you, find a way to make it. Speak up. Protest. Donate. Vote. Recycle. And please be kind to your neighbor.

Thank you to for the great shots, for the amazing work y’all do. A huge thank you to Cu***ng Capital & for working with Shacks to organize the relocation. And thank you to the Child’s Family, y’all were lovely to work with.

Bright n’ early… here we go. Wish we could’ve saved the whole block, but grateful for everyone who had a hand in helping this little 1961 home make the move to its next life in Star Valley.

We are so grateful to the Handy Andy, aka Dad and the gutter crew. They started dismantling the monitor barn on April 20th. It took 9 working days which is remarkable. Thank you, good job, it worked, we saved another structure from the trash.

Our demolitions map was updated this morning with information from permit applications filed to make way for ’s planned Jackson Street Apartments. The project will span 10 town lots on the block just south of the Brewpub and will result in 57 deed-restricted apartments: 43 designated Affordable rentals and 14 designated Workforce rentals.

This is a massive, incredibly valuable partnership project between Teton County and the Cu***ng Foundation which together own the lots and the eight buildings on them. We hope we can find a way to save some of these from demolition.

The Teton County Historic Preservation Board will be discussing these permits at their monthly meeting this evening from 7-9pm. You can find information and a Zoom link at tetonhistoricpreservation.org.

Turns out the satellite caught us halfway through our 230 E. Pearl Ave. move back in 2020. Swipe for photos of this property from 2019, 2007, and 1955! And a bonus of the house’s other half, patiently waiting for it’s reunion down at Hog Island.

Check out the link in our bio if you’ve never poked around on the Teton County GIS MapServer before. Not only is it a wealth of information, but you can see satellite and aerial photos of the valley from 1945-2020.

This was a tough one but something we feel is important to really see and be able to talk about beyond hyperbole.

We compiled data from demolition permits filed in the Town of Jackson from March 2003 to present. You can find the map of that data at the link in our bio.

It’s not all razed houses; there are great examples of preservation in what is now and plenty of other properties that aren’t mapped because they didn’t require a demolition permit to rehabilitate. There are some homes our neighbors lost to fire. And there are a handful of buildings that were relocated. But most of it - about 95% - is demolition.

Is this what the Road to Zero Waste looks like? 28% of intake at the Trash Transfer Station in 2021 was construction and demolition materials (dimensional lumber, wood and concrete). Let’s encourage reuse of our buildings, whether that means on-site renovations or relocation. We can do better than this.
