Relocating to Aspen
I want to share my experience about this relocation. To be perfectly honest, it could be a wonderful place to live but the town is gate-kept by the locals. Many people will welcome you for about 6 months and after that, you’ll likely have difficulty renewing your lease. Be very skeptic about moving here permanently because most of the people who are not rich will work several jobs and often camp because they struggle to find reliable housing. Finding meaningful work is absolutely impossible. Nepotism is extremely typical here. The “housing lottery” takes 7 years to qualify for. “Making it here” is a thing, and not an easy one.
This relocation stripped me of absolutely everything and left me in a far worse place than when I got there.
