Letter to the Editor: We have a housing problem, not a crisis, by definition
Breckenridge
I am starting a campaign to get editorials back on the editorial page rather than on the front page of all newspapers. I’ll start with today’s, June 15, Summit Daily News. I’m not picking on the Summit Daily, I see it in the Denver Post and most every newspaper I read.
The second story’s headline reads: “Colorado high country commissioners, including Summit, blast Airbnb report that disconnects short-term rentals from housing crisis.”
The last word in the headline makes this story an editorial rather than a news story.
The definition of crisis is “a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger.”
We have a workforce housing problem, not a crisis.
If you are going to interject opinion into news stories, call them what they are: editorials. And keep the editorials on the opinion page, please.

Summit Daily is embarking on a multiyear project to digitize its archives going back to 1989 and make them available to the public in partnership with the Colorado Historic Newspapers Collection. The full project is expected to cost about $165,000. All donations made in 2023 will go directly toward this project.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.
