Jeez, I had no idea Aspen and Montpelier were so small.
Aspen has been experiencing a deep housing crisis for years. They have to bus in most of their workers from nearby towns because no one who has to work for a living can afford to live in Aspen. Now there's a worker shortage because no one can afford to live in the outlying towns either.
Idk about Montpelier but Aspen is kind of connected to a more populated area in the Roaring Fork valley.
The Roaring Fork Valley has like 50k or 40k total. Maybe more if you throw in some of Colorado Valley towns like Rifle and Silt.
