For better or worse, Stapleton is a community of privilege. The issues Stapleton residents deal with, are typically “white people problems” or at the very least “first world problems.” Stapleton residents may be heard discussing having one of their luxury SUV’s in the shop, or that a dance class they wanted their child to get into filled up, and even issues with their place in the mountains. But, nothing was more Stapleton than what resident Jennifer Larson overheard while at the Stanley two weeks ago. “I was sitting out in one of the common areas doing some work and drinking coffee,” said Larson. These two ladies, who must have been friends, were sitting there talking and laughing, but they were also kind of arguing. It was really ridiculous.” Larson pointed out two things that were obnoxious about the conversation. “First of all, they were talking extremely loud,” said Larson. “Secondly, they were actually arguing over who they thought had a busier European vacation. I mean, that’s pretty pretentious, even for Stapleton.” Larson said it got to the point where the friends were mapping out the schedule they had and comparing photos to see who ran around more. “It was really incredible. They would say things like, ‘Oh, you didn’t make it there? We did.’ I guess if you are going to argue over your fancy Euro-trip, maybe do so more quietly or somewhere private.”
