If everyone is on one side of a trade, expect the other outcome. That’s a key component of Michael Lewis’s book The Big Short. Where are we with Park City? I believe most of us would say that we can’t imagine a world where Park City isn’t the center of the universe. More. More. More. …

There is a battle brewing between Summit County and the Park City School District. For those not following the blow by blow, the County has laws that require certain permits for building. The Park City School District (PCSD) didn’t get those permits before demolishing a part of the parking lot which edges up to the …
