[QUOTE="Screw-Rice, post: 16215604, member: 31264"] I'll preface this by saying been here 17 years or so. Lived in Denver, Springs, and Fort Collins areas. Scenery is great, cost of living, especially in Denver is out right retarded for what you get, unless dropping $400k+ on a place or plan on paying $2200+/month for decent place. People in Denver are not my favorite, hipsters and liberals primarily. Lot to do in Denver, but unless directly downtown, parking is a shit show of street parking, not remotely adequate for the population we now have. Last Saturday, I circled a few blocks for 10 minutes, to find a spot to meet someone for a drink in Denver. Entire city changes block by block. You'll have cool bars/restaurants, but might walk past borderline condemned low income areas, and historic million dollar homes. So pay attention to your surroundings. 16th street mall, used to be the big pride of downtown, area with lots of shops, etc. Lots of vagrants now, last year there were multiple incidents of attacks. It's getting dirtier and worse as the place gets more liberal. Same with the homeless in general, tent cities, shooting up in parks, etc. Highways, traffic in general have gotten horrible the last 5 years thanks to the economy. Not shocking that despite all the money this state pulls, they aren't concerned on keeping the roads decent. They are doing a bunch of road projects but some include more toll lanes which is starting to get out of hand out here. Denver/Boulder is very liberal. The last governor was borderline sensible on some things (oil industry), the new one is way to the left, so don't count on things to get better any time soon. Despite voters knocking down increased restrictions on oil and the high paying jobs with it, the new leadership has pulled some sneaky workarounds to still force through the restrictions they wanted all along. Living in northern CO (foco/loveland), is substantially better in terms of people. Far friendlier (40/60 lib conservative), less congestion, noise and more sensible leadership (for now). Still plenty to do, but smaller cities that still has "some" small town feel. Can give more info, if you ask specific things. No shortage of zombies in Denver, drug issues are getting bad around there. I was amazed they didn't force through the clean shooting up area. Pretty accurate, although we do average 300 days, they just don't say it last the entire day. April-June are notorious for pop up thunderstorms in the afternoon. Sunny and 86 an hour ago, clouds rolling in now. Lot of input for a 7 day stint here. We need to purge all the (D) that came in like roaches the last 5-10 years and screwed everything up. Please spay and neuter your neighborhood Californians. [/QUOTE]
