In the United States, I'd probably name Oregon City, the famous end of the Oregon Trail and the first city founded west of the Rocky Mountains during the pioneer era. Its population is only 37,000.

Jeez, I had no idea Aspen and Montpelier were so small.

[-] fireweed@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Aspen has been experiencing a deep housing crisis for years. 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.

Idk about Montpelier but Aspen is kind of connected to a more populated area in the Roaring Fork valley.

The Roaring Fork Valley has like 50k or 40k total. Maybe more if you throw in some of Colorado Valley towns like Rifle and Silt.
