re: Tell Me Something Bad About Colorado

I wonder if most of people making these replies have spent anytime in CO.

Yes, Denver leans left, but it’s more the do-gooder types rather than people wanting handouts. Pot smoke is hardly a problem as gummies and pens are readily available, its certainly no worse than other big cities. It’s a big city and has big city problems like homelessness (which has got better recently after $160M spent on housing but I digress). Food is pretty mediocre for the most part but there are several very nice high end spots. Cars don’t rust out, that’s a non issue. My daily is nearly 20 yrs old and 200k miles without a hint of rust. Menver… it’s not 1997. There’s not a lot of fat people because doing the things that get people to move here require physical ability.

The biggest issue is housing cost. Its expensive. Any neighborhood worth a damn is $1m+ for a family home. The mountains are a lot more enjoyable if you have a place to stay so that’ll be another $750k+. Good news is the public schools close to the nice neighborhoods range from good to excellent.

Every weekend can be a vacation. Skiing, fishing, hiking, concerts, all 4 major sports, major airport that you can nonstop anywhere… but but but stinky smoke and rusty cars
