Anyone who can ruin California with all its blessings, can ruin Colorado as well.
Whoops..
Pretty much.

Recent Census numbers show Colorado losing more than 12,000 residents to other states last year, while its total population growth is anemic. The metro area of Denver, once a city with buzz as hot as Austin or Nashville, is now growing more slowly than Midwestern cities like Indianapolis and Columbus. The state’s labor force has also started shrinking—something the Denver Post notes has “never happened outside a severe recession or economic shock like the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Whoops..

But Colorado has become a cautionary tale of what happens when Democrats and Golden State refugees capture a state’s politics. The high housing prices, demographic stagnation, and business weakness in California are not accidents—they are the consequences of a political culture that produces similar results wherever it takes hold.
Pretty much.

Unfortunately I think it’s to late for Colorado

Californians have been ruining Colorado since I was growing up there in the 1970s.
I can recall the adults talking about it around the kitchen table growing up.

The homeless in downtown Denver is staggering
Living in MS, I just don’t see homeless. They don’t exist
Denver was entire city blocks of tents and homeless and drug addicts and mentally ill. You couldn’t even walk on the sidewalks. And you’re just hoping that day isn’t the day one of them suffers a major break and assaults you or tries to rob/kill you.
I felt so uneasy out there.

The labor force is shrinking. Is everyone Rocky Mountain high?

Fort Collins is beautiful and very underrated. I like northern Colorado and feel it’s not as hyped up as rest of the state.

Ehh...look, two takes to your comment here.
1 - The City of Denver provides free needles on those streets. It's dumb, in my opinion, but it happens.
2 - I don't find the homeless/mentally ill in downtown Denver nearly as aggressive as the ones in Houston. Sure, there's more of them in Denver, but honestly, never once did any of them walk up to me asking for something. In Houston, while less, the ones here don't have any hesitation to walk up to you.

California Republicans moving to New Mexico made it more lefty.
When I lived in Orange County, CA 35 years ago for two years, the California conservatives were to the left of LA Democrats. They sound great but in practice are envirowhackos.

Nevada and Colorado are gone. You need to worry about Texas, Tennessee, and Idaho

The problem with CA is not so much those whose families have been there for several generations to before WWII, but those who moved there from the cities in the Midwest and Northeast US.

Can confirm. Colorado is the bane of my existence right now at work… and it’s because of ultra liberal, whacko San Francisco type leftist policy they are trying to enact there.

A lot of people from Denver have moved to Ft. Collins over the last several years or so. It’s gotten more expensive and has fully turned into a leftist college town shithole.
Denver and Ft. Collins are where Al the hippies are. Rest of the state is pretty solid. Durango is the most underrated city in Colorado IMO. Place is incredible… but you have to really want to get there.
