A local resident is urging careful consideration of the Woody Creek Racetrack's future. The concern is that the property might be turned into a larger private playground for the wealthy. This possibility raises questions about the kind of community Pitkin County is becoming.

The resident is not opposed to the racetrack continuing to operate, but rather to its potential transformation into an exclusive amenity. This could further exacerbate the challenges faced by local workers, such as teachers and nurses, who are already struggling to afford living in the area.
