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. permalink fedilink source parent [β] dunidane@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Idk about Montpelier but Aspen is kind of connected to a more populated area in the Roaring Fork valley. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] GameWarrior@discuss.online 1 point 2 years ago The Roaring Fork Valley has like 50k or 40k total.
