As painful as this is to say, it isn't fair to bring them up here when the cost of living is 300, 400, 500 times higher than what they're used to. Will we love and embrace them? Yes. Is there a future here for this population? Probably not.

Aspen is not the place for refugees. They could not afford to live here.
