Those that come, raise a family, setup a business and participate in the community. It's never been about that, so no, it's not pulling up a ladder once they are in. Since Sliver also took a shot at me being a "new joiner", having been in Calgary since the late 90's. I moved her, got educated, found a job and career, you know, the sorts of things you do when you live in a community.

I don't know if it is 'most' or not, but there is a vocal contingent who love to disparage newcomers (anyone newer than them!). I know the owners of the Grizzly Paw (est. 1996). They are still occasionally denigrated as 'newcomers' (though certainly not as much as before).
A lot of mountain town people are just weird and toxic. I love reading comments in the Outlook...always so out of touch (though tbf lately it's vacant owners making asses of themselves over the tax)
