For more than two decades, Susan Bushby, a 70-year-old housekeeper from a rural ski town in New Hampshire's White Mountains, took comfort in knowing she only had a short drive to reach the community health center. The lodge-like medical building, which sits on a hill overlooking town, was like a second home for Bushby and many other patients. The front desk staff knew their names and never missed a chance to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Staff photos of the wilderness that make this place such a draw hung on the walls, and bumping into a neighbor in the waiting room was routine. But last October, this site of the Ammonoosuc Community Health Services in Franconia, a town of around 1,000 people, closed for good. Officials blamed cuts in Medicaid, the federal program that millions of low-income Americans rely on for healthcare. The 1,400 patients, almost half of them older and some facing serious health challenges like cancer and early-stage dementia, must now drive at least 10 miles along rural roads to reach the nearest health center, which is also near a regional hospital. A second center is twice as far. The closure of the Franconia center reflects the financial struggles facing community health centers and rural healthcare systems more broadly amid Medicaid cuts and a feared spike in health insurance rates. The government shutdown, which ended in November, was driven by a Democratic demand to extend tax credits, which ensure low- and middle-income people can afford health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, or ACA. Marsha Luce, whose family moved from the Washington, D.C. area in 2000, is especially concerned about the impact on her 72-year-old husband, a former volunteer firefighter who has had an ear and part of his jaw removed due to cancer. He also has heart and memory issues. She worries about longer waits to see his doctor, Dr. Melissa Buddensee, and the loss of relationships built up over decades in Franconia. "I know specifically for Kirk, it's, it's going to be a harder one because he, he likes dealing with Dr. Buddensee himself.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.
AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on how Medicaid cuts are taking a toll on some community health centers.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Spencer Bost, Executive Director of Downtown Spruce Pine, takes us through the dramatic transformation of his organization following Hurricane Helene's devastation. From managing their annual blacksmith festival and facade grant programs in this mountain town of 2,000 residents, to suddenly facing eight-foot flood waters that destroyed businesses, including his own office, Bost reveals how the community responded to this natural disaster while maintaining their position as a crucial global source of high-purity quartz.

As an outdoor lover, Leopold's deep respect for ecosystems inspires a sense of stewardship. From a rural economy standpoint, his philosophy of land ethic emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the communities that depend on it. It's a powerful reminder that conservation and economic development can coexist when rooted in a genuine appreciation for the land. Special Guest: Spencer Bost.

Transcript: Steven Jack Butala: I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit. And this is the Land Academy Show. Steven Jack Butala: This is episode number 1,958. And today we are talking about why these mountain towns? Jill and I are actually in- Jill K DeWit: Just outside of Aspen. Steven Jack Butala: Carbondale. Carbondale, Colorado. Why these mountain town real estate pricing is so messed up, in Jill's, words. And then how you can ultimately profit from it. So it has to do with taking a look at land values versus housing values and things like that. And then a little bit later on, we're going to talk about how being a business owner is the only real viable way to create wealth. Jill K DeWit: So we are coming to you live... Well not live. But we're coming to you from right between Glenwood Springs and Aspen, Colorado. I am wearing my Colorado sweatshirt today because I am lovingly supporting the Nuggets, who have just taken the NBA basketball championship title, if anybody knows. It was so fun to be here, in a sweet little local bar in Carbondale, and celebrate with everyone else their win here at Colorado. It's not technically our state, but right now it feels like it's our state. It feels like it's home to us right now. So we're having a good time. And I'm excited about this topic because this is so fascinating to me. So I'll save it. I have a lot to share and I'll save it for the actual show here. Steven Jack Butala: Jill and I are in week one, maybe week two, actually, of probably what'll end up being a three, maybe four month national RV trip. We're in the center of Colorado right now. And so what we do, we tow a little Jeep around. And what we always do is drive to these little towns and look at real estate, not because we intend to look at real estate, it's just by default. Jill K DeWit: That's who we are. Steven Jack Butala: That's right. So we figured we'd talk about what we're finding and where there's just, we're looking for opportunity in finding it. Jill K DeWit: It's amazing. Steven Jack Butala: Yep. Jill K DeWit: It's really amazing. Steven Jack Butala: Each week on the show we answer questions from our Land Academy member discord forum. We review land acquisitions from our weekly member webinars. And we take a deep dive into two land related topics by popular request. I just mentioned those.

Transcript: Steven Jack Butala: I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill K DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit. And this is the Land Academy Show. Steven Jack Butala: This is episode number 1,958. And today we are talking about why these mountain towns? Jill and I are actually in- Jill K DeWit: Just outside of Aspen. Steven Jack Butala: Carbondale. Carbondale, Colorado. Why these mountain town real estate pricing is so messed up, in Jill's, words. And then how you can ultimately profit from it. So it has to do with taking a look at land values versus housing values and things like that. And then a little bit later on, we're going to talk about how being a business owner is the only real viable way to create wealth. Jill K DeWit: So we are coming to you live... Well not live. But we're coming to you from right between Glenwood Springs and Aspen, Colorado. I am wearing my Colorado sweatshirt today because I am lovingly supporting the Nuggets, who have just taken the NBA basketball championship title, if anybody knows. It was so fun to be here, in a sweet little local bar in Carbondale, and celebrate with everyone else their win here at Colorado. It's not technically our state, but right now it feels like it's our state. It feels like it's home to us right now. So we're having a good time. And I'm excited about this topic because this is so fascinating to me. So I'll save it. I have a lot to share and I'll save it for the actual show here. Steven Jack Butala: Jill and I are in week one, maybe week two, actually, of probably what'll end up being a three, maybe four month national RV trip. We're in the center of Colorado right now. And so what we do, we tow a little Jeep around. And what we always do is drive to these little towns and look at real estate, not because we intend to look at real estate, it's just by default. Jill K DeWit: That's who we are. Steven Jack Butala: That's right. So we figured we'd talk about what we're finding and where there's just, we're looking for opportunity in finding it. Jill K DeWit: It's amazing. Steven Jack Butala: Yep. Jill K DeWit: It's really amazing. Steven Jack Butala: Each week on the show we answer questions from our Land Academy member discord forum. We review land acquisitions from our weekly member webinars. And we take a deep dive into two land related topics by popular request. I just mentioned those. If you want to sneak peek of what goes on discord, it's actually really interesting. Go to landacademy.com. It's free, in kind of a view only mode. Jill K DeWit: And also, we pull questions from there, we also pull questions directly from you via texting to us. So feel free to do that. If you want to text us a question that we can answer here, live, or on our podcast. Or just want to get involved in our community, we read them all. The number is 480-530-7383. Check it out. So Michael wrote a question, "I am new and researching counties and zips. But I need funding for whatever I buy. I want to know what size property and what price point on the sell side would be attractive enough for a funder to go in with me and hold my hand in the process. Obviously, the split is negotiable. I'm just looking to learn the process,
Mountain towns are the epicenters of our outdoor world. Cool places built on accessibility to amazing outdoor adventure and the outdoorsy lifestyle, these towns attract outdoor enthusiasts as well as plenty of people with money who are seeking the status that living in a mountain town can afford. A recent episode of the Outside Podcast titled 'To Save the Soul of a Mountain Town' captured some of the struggles that have resulted as dirtbag adventure seekers have been priced out of these places by those with seemingly endless amounts of cash. To dig a little deeper into this topic the producer of the Outside piece and veteran rock fighter himself, Paddy O'Connell, is back on the show today to tell us how the story came to be and how he is optimistic that our community will help save these places we've all come to love. Do you live in a mountain town? Do you vacation in them? What are your observations on what is happening in this special locales? We want to hear from you!

Sometimes you know the “what” but not the “how.” Jamie and David Orr knew they wanted to expand their original CoWork Tahoe coworking concept started in South Lake Tahoe in 2012…but they didn't know where or how until they encountered a local entrepreneur that was buying a building and wanted to bring coworking to a gem of a town about 20 minutes from South Lake Tahoe.

In Aspen, Colorado, and other alpine communities, the future depends on making sure the weirdos and oddballs are still welcome. That's what gets concerned locals the most animated: any suggestion that their neighborhoods are becoming exclusive playgrounds for the rich, forcing out the gonzo characters that help make them so special. What's needed, according to planning experts and many longtime residents, are smarter growth strategies that include affordable housing, increased transportation options, and forward-thinking management of public lands. For this episode, we take a walk around Aspen and ask what it'll take to get such things done.

A young sake bar owner, Yusuke Shimoki, arrives on the doorstep of Hannah Kirshner's Brooklyn apartment “with a suitcase full of Ishikawa sake,” in Hannah's words. That visit sparked a years-long connection between Hannah and the rural Japanese community of Yamanaka, a home for artisans and artists, hunters and farmers, and other ordinary Japanese trying to live in the countryside. Those visits are the subject of Hannah's book, Water Wood and Wild Things: Learning Craft and Cultivation in a Japanese Mountain Town, published in hardcover by Viking in 2021, and in paperback by Penguin this year. Hannah learns how to make sake, craft wooden trays, hunt ducks, farm vegetables, and several other activities common in this part of rural Japan. And, as an added bonus, readers get to see recipes garnered from Hannah's time in Yamanaka! In this interview, Hannah and I talk about rural Japan, duck hunting, drinking sake and growing vegetables, as well as some of her favorite recipes in the book! Hannah Kirshner is a writer, artist, and food stylist whose work has appeared in The New York Times, T Magazine, Vogue, Saveur, Taste, Food 52, Atlas Obscura, and Food & Wine, among others. Trained at the Rhode Island School of Design, Kirshner grew up on a small farm outside Seattle and divides her time between Brooklyn and rural Japan.
