The other
evening I answered questions for a survey I assume was to educate as
well as to inquire about the need for affordable housing for the school
district, the hospital, RFTA, the Aspen Skiing Company, the city and
other entities.

When asked what I felt were the three most pressing issues in this
valley, I replied affordable housing, mass transit (what happened to
the train?) and affordable retail spaces where all these employees (and
their employers) can go to shop for underwear, get their shoes
repaired, go to a walk-in clinic that is in town rather than at the
hospital, dine, drink, dance and generally have fun.

Who is going to stay in a place where one feels like a marble rattling
around in a shoebox — a cold, uninviting, exclusive, soulless white
city?

The landlords aren’t going to address this issue. Who is?
