Chapter 1: Intro

Aspen is a small and expensive city in Colorado and is a vacation spot where I want to visit. The city was founded as a mining town during the silver mining boom in 1879, but today is known as a tourist center for skiing. Property values have been skyrocketing and its per capita is one of the highest in the country. As a result, a majority of the lower and middle income families are forced to live on the outskirts of the city, such as Basalt and Carbondale. The fact remains, however, that the city has a beautiful scenery and is great for skiing.
