Perhaps the County should consider this report when passing new laws restricting vacation rentals, bottling plants, and the overconcerns of...
Unfortunately I think you're talking apples and oranges. Your suggestion, in the short run, may offset county losses.. but would do nothing for the people doing the jobs that would be replaced. I suspect we are heading to universal basic income faster than most realize. And, yeah yeah yeah I know all those that think the answer is get off your ass and get a job will throw a sissy fit. But hey, all those low end jobs are going to go away, and the people that do them will still be here.
On top of all that I get the feeling tourism is going to drop like a led balloon as soon as everyone faces the carbon cost of those flight to and from. As soon as we have a democratic president who is willing to face the issue and sign legislation accordingly. So unless Open-d returns to tell us how I am full of sh*t I suspect VR are not going to save the day either. Other than in the short run.
Maybe agriculture will come back into vogue. We sure have the land, and the labor, and the need.
