Worst places to live in Nashville - • Top 10 Reasons NOT to ...
What's it like living in Denver? Well first off, the elevation is higher than most cities at 5,280 feet above sea level and it's located right next to the beautiful front range of the Rocky Mountains. The weather here is crazy and gets very cold with lots of snow but also very hot and dry in the Summer. It's actually the largest city in Colorado, and along with Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Boulder and other secluded mountain towns, one of the best cities to live in America. A lot of people are moving from California and Texas to the Mile High City, making it one of the fastest growing and most expensive cities in the United States. If the Centennial State has the #1 economy, why shouldn't you live in Denver, CO?

I don’t know why I’m watching this from my home, in Denver.
Same lol
Same same same
Same jaja

Cool! ♥
If you dont make $4000 a month don't move here.
Still can't afford a house off that income.
More like $8000 per month.
Factssss
@Method Man eh, 6k is a bit high. with that you can get you a nice hirise apartment downtown and still have like 3k to spend
@Olivares Silviano Per month??
It was 92 today in Denver and tomorrow we are expecting 10 inches of snow. No I promise I am not making this up.
Ha ha right?! Thankfully we only got about 2 jnches in Littleton.
Yes i love colorado
I believe it,if you don't like the weather,just wait a little while!!
This past saturday it was snowing while it was sunny out...
No I was there in June and July very good weather during the day then it got like 38 degrees at night one weekend
Denver has been a magnet for the same kind of losers that have ruined Seattle and Portland.
Denver cannot be compared to the Beautiful city of Seattle. My family moved from Seattle Washington in 1968 to Colorado. I didn't like it, no Puget sound, no lake Washington, no mount Rainier, no thick forest or high trees.
Has it? I don't remember the implants legalizing drugs. Yall did that. Don't make terrible decisions and then cry about the results. Go to Mississippi, you won't have to worry about "Seattle type people."
@@1aceproperty I lived in Seattle and I missed the people, when moved to Colorado. My sister and I did not feel welcome here, it took several years before we were accepted. Colorado is nothing compared to the Pacific Northwest.
@@deborahthunderhawk5569 u guys get months of pure grey which causes sadness and u talk about people being mean? Lmao u guys have a phrase for it " seattle freeze " people are antisocial.
@@gomezkenneth92 Sorry, I lived in North Seattle, it's now called Shoreline, back in the 60's. But I was born and raised there. My family moved to Colorado in 1968. But, Seattle Washington is way more beautiful than Colorado.
Its expensive af now.
Ive been here for 15 years and i miss when homes were 120k. Not 400k
It's because people keep moving here. BEGONE FLATLANDER!
Its so sad, i was born n raised here all my life and its getting so expensive and hard to live here and I don't want to move but its so pricey
Colofornia fucked ya! We have lamborghini, Bugatti,McLaren and Ferrari's for sale on C470! The front range is fucked! These self entitled fucks are taking over our agricultural state. Fuck the farm fields and build houses! It's all about money right?
Ppl make more money now tho
@@alonsoguerrero7210
Not after you factor in the cost of living hike
As a Denver native, I can say that there are a lot of people who have moved here who do not play nice. They
don't seem to understand the ethic..... They litter like it is a god given right. There are a lot of aggressive
drivers who always seem to be in a hurry. Denver is popular now so there are a lot of trendies. The traffic is
an issue. We are welcoming here but we guard our resources with fierce devotion. There are a lot of people
who have moved here who show little to no respect for the natural world. They just don't get it. These type of
people simply do not belong.....It is a lot like being a house guest. Relax, have a good time but show respect.
It’s these stupid kids from California. I’m a young kid and I moved away about 7 hours from Denver to South Dakota and I’m so happy to be away from the Californians in Denver.
Mamu MauMau
It’s the California Liberals who don’t care about anything.
The people who are always in a hurry are either them damn Texans or Caliornians
Damn. I feel that. Please done let the east coast leave it's part of the country. Bad vibes from Maine to North Carolina in my opinion
George Harley Rider I thought Californians were super environmentally aware? 🙄😜
#11. Colorado is two weeks away from becoming California.
No please don’t say that Colorado has a long way to become California
literally lol
California is the pandemic
Have you ever tried to convince a girl from California to move here? I swear to god everytime they fly in it’s either raining or snowing. They’ll never leave it’s just to good in that state
Unfortunately true.
I moved here from Texas in 11-2009. I had no trouble adjusting to the altitude. After living in Houston for 28 years, I have no complaints about the Denver weather. In Houston, summer runs from March to November. You don't know what you will get from December to February, but I will tell you this: with Houston just 90 minutes away from the Gulf of Mexico, the worst blizzard in Denver is a cakewalk compared to what happens when the temp in Houston drops below freezing. When that happens, you do not leave the house! Denver is not isolated-Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley, Boulder-they are all growing. I do not care about beaches.
Jesus christ stop moving here, I'm seeing more trash more then ever.
I'm with you I'm a Colorado Native that's being pushed out I love it here don't want to move the things I enjoy doing are overcome with idiots my mountains are full of morons and I can barely afford to live please stop moving to Colorado
Ya right. We dont even like californ
@@timyedo6510 I dont mind people from california, if I was born there, I would want to move away from that shit hole unconstitutional state myself, it's just people dont respect anything.
@@tearfree1600 Oh gosh. Please leave. While I don't fall into this group of people you're referring to. YOU are part of the problem no cap. All of the "Native" bumper stickers and pretentious assholes calling the mountain "my mountain" is astounding. No one likes an asshole that feels entitled to anything. Colorado natives are supposed to be the chill ones. Leave the assholes to California and Texas.
Thankyou.
Who is watching this if u live in Denver and it is after the BiG stow storm we had on the 26th
Kellen Rings Dude no one knew how to drive, it was pathetic
That storm was crazy I got sooo much snow where I live
It wasn’t even that bad but Denver wasn’t plowing Shit 😂
Kellen Rings duuuuude. It sucks here. I’m only here for a few more weeks thank god
Still stuck here. Still have a hard time walking from my house to the bus and back. 12/2/19
I was born and raised in Colorado, still reside here...You aren't wrong on any of the top 10, I think it's even worse now. 😔
sounds like here in Vegas,just not quite expensive,yet!
I lived there from 1991 until 2011. Moved from PA. It became home. Lived on Cap Hill. I saw some of that top 10 on my visits back and it saddened me. I thought that my forced move back east would only be for a few years but I am still here. (Ended up with my dream job in theater though!) I still want to move back. I work in NYC and live in Jersey. As crazy as Denver has gotten, it will still be much less expensive and crowded than NYC. I have a family of friends still in Denver so I have them to look forward to. We'll see. The decision has gotten harder in the past few years because of my job. I really love it. And I live in a very quiet neighborhood in Jersey. Just so sad to see the changes in Denver. It was a wonderful place to live when I moved there. The people were great and the quality of living was so good. No real stress. Even working full time I always felt like I was on vacation!
Same
"It's dry! Theres Traffic! Its expensive! There's fires! And Weed!" *hysterical wheezing LA laughter*
@MUFC dude what? how is this relevant
@MUFC ok
stop moving here.... the traffic has gotten out of control and we all know it’ll take 6+ years to add another lane to I-25
And when they do make it it will be a toll lane
Gabe Hernandez or a 3 person minimum HOV lane.
Agree I hate driving in traffic. I used to get from work to home like 20 minutes, now is about an 1 hour.
and of course It would be an express lane that nobody will really use so it makes no difference. They are doing the same stupid shit to I-70 right now by adding an express lane thinking that will solve the congestion. It won't and it doesn't
If ever!
I'm a Denver native and thank you for making this. Now quit moving here!
Haha glad you enjoyed :) Any other cities you'd want me to make a video about?
@@FromHeretoThere anyone listed in Colorado!
Haha will get to Colorado Springs eventually! Hope you enjoy the other videos until then too :)
People just moving to Denver cause we got weed
too late its mexirado
As a Denver couch potato born and raised. There's still tons of great couch potato stuff like great food to order and drinks to try, but good luck affording the house to put a couch in.
My first apartment in Denver was a studio for $485, in 2010.
Good price.
@JD 23 1997?
@JD 23 It was already overcrowded by the time Colorado hit 4 million in 1999. 1 million more people came between then and 2010. Then almost another million came between 2010 and now.
If you don’t know how do drive in snow, get out of Colorado
Edit: thank you for 135 likes
Agree I hate when people don't know how to drive in snow. They go so slow on the left lane (not even in snow days) that is very frustrating wait until they move to the right lane or turn to the next exit lane or they drive like assholes (speeding more than everybody needs to go) until they cause a wreck.
@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt fuck off
PLEASE we hate that you still live here
John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt NO! Colorado natives have more right to live in Colorado than people who aren’t Colorado natives. It doesn’t matter if they pay a mortgage or not!
i have only lived here 4 years and even i agree with all being said. The driving here in general is horrible and getting worse even in my short stay here
Y’all act like saying “Stop moving here” is actually gonna have an effect on ppl
pramshu kumai People probably say it for a few reasons 1.They want to keep their town the way it is because they love it, 2.Its overpopulated and they don’t want anymore people and there’s probably more but those seem most logical to me
@pramshu kumai i can only speak for Denver and its because the quality of life is declining.
@@marandasumner1455 it's usually because people vote for the same parties which destroyed their state and the reason that they moved to denver (not to be a jerk i just see this a lot this comment meant no hate i was just telling you another point why citizens of texas and other state hate people moving in from states like nyc and los Angeles i am not an american or from other english speaking country so if my english is bad i am sorry
We're saving u the money. Move somewhere else where u don't have to save for years just to get a small apartment.
@pramshu kumai
Inflation has gone up like 1000% and its hell.
I visit Denver several times each year, and while traffic is intense at any hour, most folks are very good giving room to merge and helping others out. Very friendly most of the time!
Sounds safer than Houston
Very true !
Lol nah I be like wtf every day
I live near Denver. Folks do not care or let you have room to merge. Most will speed up so you don't get in front of them.
Friendly to visitors not movers. Stay for a while but not forever.
Denver is over crowded. I live and work in a suburb near Denver called Aurora. Rent is ridiculously stupid. I know cause I'm a maintenence supervisor at a apartment community. The sad news is I don't even make enough to live there. Do your due diligence before moving here.
I’ve seen my old 2 bedroom apartment go from 650 a month to 1,400.
I’ve seen I-25 and I-70 go from lightly packed to several hour traffic jams.
Lastly I’ve seen the amount of accidents in snow increase significantly.
Please stop moving here.
it's pretty upsetting. i wanted to live here my entire life but it's impossible to live without a roommate with min wage
Yea get the fuck out of here if you can’t handle the cold
Yes, traffic used to be from 6am to 8am and from 3pm to 6pm from Monday through Friday but now traffic is all day long and 7 days a week and let's not forget that pollution keeps getting worse and worse.
@@Neonrenn Minimum wage shouldn't be a lifetime wage. Sounds like you are just getting started. Hang in there but yes, Denver and all of the Colorado has changed drastically.
Yep sadly many commenting on here not to move are left wingers that vote for stuff like open borders
The money from weed doesn't go to public schools. That's one of the biggest problems with our politicans here.
oh yeah they are definitely getting their cut.
But it does go to the roads! I live in the aprings
We just voted to use some of the mmj tax surplus to help build homeless stuff...
All government money is fungible. Anyone saying otherwise is naive.
Agree the money goes to the crocked politicians
I came here on vacation 16 years ago , never left.
I’m sorry
@@asantitracey6612 moved from North Carolina, here it's clean, if u know what I mean?
That’s a long vacation
Please leavev
I have been here in Denver for 10 years, this guy is spot on. Even on a Saturday morning there is heavy traffic. It is crazy.
Denver is a polluted passive aggressive bigot hole
You forgot massive gentrification. People who are native here are being displaced by businesses and developers, tearing down classic homes with beautiful architecture and replaced with obnoxious condos to fit out of towners who have no respect for this city or it's culture.
The Weed boom is over, look to other cities that are about to legalize soon.
Also, the high homeless population. Mostly people who moved here thinking they were going to immediately get a job in the green business but got a rude awakening due to the competition for the jobs and the mandatory licensing which is expensive and extremely thorough in it's vetting process.
Kiin Ovarb thank you for this comment cause it’s straight facts, Denver leads the country in Hispanic displacement. I fear the day when El Tejado get turned into luxury condos😔
Thanks for the feedback! yeah it's really sad to see how overpopulation is hurting the city :/
Denver Homeless population doesn't compare to L.A. or NEW ORLEANS. IN NEW ORLEANS, THE HOMELESS MURDER AND ROB EVERY OTHER DAY
@@hound7410
Not trying to compete, just stating facts first hand on the sitch here.
No one should try to compete homlessness.
It’s these stupid kids from California. I moved 7 hours away from Denver to South Dakota and couldn’t have been happier. I have a cheaper life, nature that is still nature and not an overcrowded mess. And I am still close enough to Denver to go see a game now and then.
As a Denver resident, the one thing this guy is totally missing is the HOMELESS. The city is crawling with the mentally ill/drug addicts. I know that is a problem for most cities, but I have traveled to a lot of other cities in the US and Europe, and Denver has one of the worst homeless problems I have seen.
May be his next video will be "Top 10 homeless states in US"
In my experience, I've never seen too too many homeless people, but might've just not been in the right areas to see them. Thought it was pretty below average for a major city, but could be wrong! Thanks for the feedback :)
Any other cities you'd want me to make a video about?
@Lil Lou wrong
Due to Midwestern states buying their homeless problem people a one way bus ticket to Denver. There was a huge news story about this
Definitely agree
Am I the only one who is a little disappointed he didn’t talk about the homelessness problem we have in Denver?
Homeless problem is bad and horrible. We are becoming California.
it’s really really bad..
I'm Canadian and have wanted to visit Colorado for a long time. I'm from a military family so I want to see Colorado Springs. Any other recommendations? Fort Collins?
@@tanyaleigh8796 Boulder is cool and nice. Colorado Springs has cool stuff. What time of year are you going?
I was supposed to come this Christmas but I'll wait now until next Christmas.
Can definitely tell this was made by someone who isn't from Denver.
They`re building more and more of the UGLIEST, most unimaginative apartment bldgs. here, turning a beautiful place into an ugly, aesthetically bankrupt nightmare!!
That's U.N. Agenda 21 in action and it's global. Every city is receiving the treatment. Welcome to the new world order..
Yeah see what you did to our state
You're from Detroit aren't you
And that's why I've been moving to keep all of our landmarks open
You're welcome for toms by the way
Stop having kids, Earth can't afford it.
Let’s just put it this way, Colorado’s weather is straight up weird
It's sunny all the time? When it snows we know it's coming and can prepare for it?
Ever heard of Texas?
It can be warm one day and snowing the next
@@alexseuser4035 yet but its snow one minute melting the next
Ever heard of Florida?
Moved here from California. Wish I hadn't can't wait to move back
Why? My job is relocating me there so I want to know if all this don’t move to Colorado talk is real.
@@johnnyaleman8218 its insanely expensive, and besides the great view there isn't much I like about the city
That's great. We can't wait for you to leave.
@@dorindab.5305 you can enjoy scraping snow off your car all you want without me
Do you need bus fare??
I visited Denver, Colorado. My daughter saw the positive freemallride, I was like confused who was who. Yuppies, heroin addict, homeless, the sign if you disturb the driver is a felony? (Driver surrounded by glass very well protected, never seen it. It's a great idea, but why? I stayed downtown, because on my way there I saw graffiti, homeless, read about dangerous areas. I was tired, basically not much to do. My tour to city of Gods, peak was canceled. I live in San Diego, its expensive, beautiful. Yes, I been to Los Angeles, Oakland, Compton that's BAD, even here Encanto shootings. Denver has no control over homeless =they're everywhere, here they're in specific spot. No, you can build homes, there still don't want to move there. I still want to see peak/city of Gods. Hope Denver gets better, it has potential. For me the wether is the worse, don't like snow, altitude made me tired.
WELCOME TO DENVER! (Now go home)
😂
I have been saying that for years!😂👍
Colorado voters rejected 1976 winter Olympics because of worries it would draw attention here and then people would move here. People moved here anyway.
Sounds about friendly.
Tim Kimball you look and sound homosexual.
Too damn many California refugees!!
@Ricardo Nievez I'm from California, and I was planning to move to Denver until I saw this video (and your comment)
Collinizer!
and Wisconsin too...
@Jojew Colorado drivers are idiots. They all drive like they are 90 and go 5-10 under the speed limit. California drivers aren't in a rush they want to go the speed limit
No they are a problem too.
Guy: Denver is expensive, the average home cost $400,000
Me (living in Boston): Wow!! That's so cheap compared to here.
You can find places 600-1400 a month studio to 1 or 2 bedroom.
I live in Santa Barbara and the average house is 1 mill here
That’s actually wrong, the latest report was about $500k...and no ocean.. and the mountains are a good 2-3 hours away bc of traffic
Its not cheap when you add up our average wage, which only increased this year. The people moving from other states getting approval for home loans at above our average is what is driving up housing costs. This state used to be clean and beautiful. Its now trash everywhere with homeless. Im moving lol they killed Colorado
@@karenafishler-bridge2604 2-3 hours? Are you walking KAREN?
Winter time here in Denver is the equivalent to those Red Lens Decoder Glasses we played with back elementary school. As soon as a blizzard hits... you immediately see who's from California and Texas. All you have to do is look in the ditches and medians as you drive by on the highway.
Been here my whole life and I can't even continue living here smh
I feel this so deep in my soul it makes me want to cry. I was born and raised here and to see how it all changed so fast is really sad. I can't stand the drivers anymore. They're all rude and want to tail gate. Or they get in the fast lane and go slow as hell.
To many chomoes especially Boulder denver
@@michaeltwichell6068 that's some serious shit though!
I am so glad I can speak freely about this on this thread! I am so enraged by all the people moving here that I want to move OUT of Colorado and I've been here all my life and I love it and it makes me so sad 😔
@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt Straight up, fuck you. I mean I don't have much else to say other than "you're very wrong" and "fuck you." Dumbass you want to displace anyone that can't afford a house in this economy? Do you understand why that doesn't even make sense? How dare you? Honestly fuck you. There's no way you're even from here, and if you are, there's no way you worked your way into owning a home. Gtfo
Please don't move here, we have too many people moving here already, seriously
Gumba 213 thank you for putting this out there
Gumba 213 agreed traffic SUCKS
agreed trafic sucks please no more people here in denver
Fuck all that , I got over 10 family members moving up here from New Orleans in 2020
I am military and trying to get Colorado as my last duty station before I retire and plan on living in the Springs/Fountain area. A lot of the stuff mentioned in the video comes with any place you live, minus the elevation which Im sure will have to acclimated to. But I feel the pros outweigh the cons in every aspect, especially if you plan on living outside the big cities. I'm a big wildlife supporter and Colorado is one of the only places with multiple facilities that allow volunteering to be able to interact with their animals.
Good luck. Ft Carson is a great base to be stationed. I left in 2017 loving my 3 years there. I would not go back if you paid me today.
As a Denver native the chat field reservoir joke was so funny!
The main reason, we don't have any room! If I had it my way, I'd build a wall and make California pay for it!
I thought our a-hole-in-chief was already building one/
That's the dumbest thing ive ever heard someone say. I live in Colorado to. But i dont live in denver.
@John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmitt you copy pasting piece of shit
Brilliant Comment. Creeping Cali Crud
Instead of a wall around CO, probably better and cheaper to just put it around your home.
Denver: It can take you 45 minutes to drive across town.
Phoenix: Hold my beer.
he is talking about crossing part of the metro area from north to south with no traffic, just to reflect how spread out the metro really is. Nowadays it's pretty much all populated from Colo Springs to Fort Collins. With traffic it's easily over 3 hours
I moved from Phoenix to Denver early 2019. Traffic in Phoenix is nothing in comparison.
Also, Phoenix is enormous in terms of sheer size. Denver isn't even close and still takes far longer to get anywhere.
It used to take 20.
Sa Co that stretch of Valley Highway between Northglenn and Longmont! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️it takes four days to
Make that drive.
Pssst....flatlanders don’t know what Valley Highway is. Haha
ThatGuyThatDoesStuff I thought I was gonna die driving across Phoenix lol. It was hot IN the car with AC on.
I'm a Denver native and I recently moved to Texas because it's just not the same anymore. I'm 50 years old so I've seen lots of changes in my hometown. And it's really sad. One thing that ruined it was the legalization of weed. Now there's people from all over the U.S. moving there and they now make up half of the homeless population. They go to Denver thinking they're gonna have a hunky dory time when they don't even realize they can't get a job there without passing a drug test. And because the cost of living has skyrocketed they end up on the streets. So "Go back home" is actually good advice.
And homeless people everywhere from Northern Colorado to Southern Colorado.
Thats what happens when you declare your state a homeless sanctuary state. The dems made us that when they took over govt few years ago.
@@rh7293 lol are you serious, "a few years ago", where the fuck have you been? Colorado has been a democratic state for a long fuckin time now, almost 20 years
I was born in Colorado and live my whole life here but costs are getting so outrageous I might have to move to another state
Mr.dfroster tofu: And people are complaining about homelessness when it is the developers and the city council that is in their pockets that are moving the poor, working poor, and middle class out in the streets. And don't forget we have a lot of homeless vets so let's everyone show some respect.
Valerie Etter also I am still in the public school system and I can tell you right now none of the marijuana tax money is going to the public school system just corrupt politicians
I was born in Colorado too :D
See yA
Byeeeeeeeeee
It’s because the broncos blew a 20 point lead
That they did
Hahaha
Cousins did nothing fancy in 2nd half..... Unbelievable....
Who has time to watch T.V? Not the hard working blue collar class that's for sure!
@@realmccoy9597 Deplorable AMERICANS because you and millions like yourselves have a job..... Lol
Lived in Denver my whole life, don’t know why I watched this video as if I had something to learn from it
I moved to Denver summer 2019, where a 1 bdr apt 720 sqft, is $1400 a month. You go to the mountains twice a year because all the good hikes are 2-3 hours away. There is not much to do when you are in town, unless you like to go clubbing and party all the time.
Need to build a wall around Colorado.
1000% TRUE
🛫
Like what Trump said
Denver Native your Colorado fetish is gross, thankfully young people are moving there and its just a matter of time before you old bags of shit buy the farm.
We tried.
Weed doesn't go to the schools that was a lie to get weed to pass, do forget to mention the bus services
What about oil companies fracking
I heard it has ruined water in some areas?
@bonji woahso If I am wrong... how much do the schools get?
Weed money goes to schools.
@bonji woahso not true if the district doesn't allow sales they don't get any tax revenue. Look at Douglas county no weed tax revenue
Incorrect.
Colorado sucks, im moving to the south.
What sucks about it??
@@Missrere1984 the rapidly expanding tent cities, skyrocketing taxes, a total lack of jobs (except at the plebian level), outrageously priced realestate, encroaching urban sprawll, regulations that make it impossible to run a business.
The list could go for a long time, in short, colorado was great when i got here in 95, its a 3rd world hell hole now.
s. Armitage In other words it’s turning into California.
You dont want to come to the south. Lll
This vid a need's revisit. Thing's are so different now. I have an recent antfi riot vid on my channel if you wanna see how cap hill is doing. However the theory of colofornia is real. I just hope it bounce's back. I love this place.
Yes, we r full. Stop moving here and screwing up our state.
LOL tell that to the 1.3 million transplants. It's already over in terms of wanting to keep outsiders out.
You don't have a state. What have you done for this state? I've been here 2 yrs and probably have done way more than you. Do you work with the homeless population or help create jobs or anything?? This state nor city belong to you. Move to Utah if you don't like it.
Forgot to mention the increase in homeless population....buy a $500k house with a tent-city in your alley way.
@G Galilei It’s getting really bad in aurora too
there are now homeless camps in every square inch
@@imaaveragegamer9609 i work in construction out there in aurora and I see homeless people daily on drugs or trying to get into cars. It's so sad, but some people just don't want any help
I’m a native and work in the City. Homelessness is pretty bad and tent cities sprout up, then get clean out only to sprout up again. Traffic is bad and you get a mix of rude transplants here that disrupt the kindness and outgoing attitude of the natives here. Most transplants move here because their original state sucks. Isn’t Democracy great! Now we have increased cost of living with shitty traffic, increased homelessness, increased auto insurance along with shitty transplant attitudes! Please visit and don’t move here. There is enough bad flannel dressed hipsters with bad mustaches here! Enough Dammit!
Thats any major city now. Austin, TX is getting like that.
Right on the money! I have lived in Denver my whole life, more than 55 years. Too many people, too expensive....please don't come here!
Its the CaliForeigners, they ruined Calif. Now they're ruining Arizona, Colorado, with the plastic personality and cheap morals.
I believe you, most people would retire to the ocean after 55 years. If people have to stay in Denver because they have no money to move when retired then what's the point
Boo fucking hoo
Suebuddha it’s so annoying😒 literally the traffic on I-70 drives me fucking insane
Mary Lee, funny you should ask. Actually I'm an MSN regional nurse consultant. I have had both eastern and western territories and have traveled to multiple large and small cities across the country. I'm also a professional photographer, specifically travel. My work hangs in two galleries in Denver. I've traveled through Europe and South America. You?
When my son turns 18 I'm going to escape from this wanna be San Fran cesspool.

@Linda Reyes I just bought a home in Denver. I'm fine here, thanks ☺️
I have lived here for my whole life and I want people to quit moving here because a lot of my favorite parks are getting trashed!
@F ten I don't know what to say about that

queenofmeanest meanie wow no comment but that’s pretty racist lol
@F ten Not that many black people will move to Colorado, it is too cold.
@sharkk 88 That was only because of the auto industry. Black people were escaping the segregation of the South for good paying jobs of the north, with out a need of any type of higher education.
Spent past 10yrs in Denver just moved out on 7/20; Beautiful state, Awful air quality, Overly crowded, lacks natural resources, politics are concerning, and cost of living all make this place not really sustainable as a permanent home for most Americans
A girl at my school said “I’m moving back to California because Colorado is too expensive” and no one gave her sympathy.
Denver: We have overpopulation and traffic
Texas & California: Alright whats new
basically every large city's problem - ny here
Philadelphia too! It's just if You Drive 2 hours out, youre still in the Middle of it all
Texas is not overpopulated. Bexar (the urban part of Texas) is about perfect in terms of population, and the rest of the state is underpopulated and often severely underpopulated.

Colorado native here, born in Denver but have lived in rural Colorado for several decades and would never return to Denver. Since this video was made, the number of potheads has multipied, and many are unfortunately living on the streets in Denver. In May 2020, the capitol building was ALLOWED to be vandalized for a couple of months, and Governor Polis and the rest of the democrats in charge let it sit destroyed during that time.... like a badge of honor or something. Sigh. I think they finally started cleaning it up in late July. What a waste of taxpayer money to allow such destruction to a beautiful old building and monuments. If you are a conservative politically, you probably want to avoid Denver.
Something I didn't realize before moving to Denver was how polluted the air is. There's coal burning power plants and oil refineries right in the heart of the city, then there's Weld county, where there a ton of fracking. Do your research if you care about your health. Don't be fooled, you will not find fresh mountain air in Denver, instead, daily air quality alerts to exercise indoors, don't fuel up during the day, combine trips, use public transport, etc.
It really is. The air quality is brutal from May - October. Especially when the wildfire smoke blows in....
Why would there be fresh mountain air in a city that's not even in the mountains? Denver is in the Great Plains.
I’m a New Orleans transplant I’m always pickin up trash after other especially in my apt complex. We ain’t all bad 💯

I am from Colorado my whole family still lives there. I live in California now, so the whole California thing is getting real old
The best reason to not come to Denver is the out of towers are making our state super expensive. And even more gentrified. And crowded.
I ended up in Denver 12/31/1999 when my parents split and I was 17 then. 20 years, a husband, and 3 kiddos later I’m still here. I didn’t meet my husband in Denver though lol. Singles will have a hard time finding love out here. Anyway, I grew up in the hoods of Memphis where I saw my classmates murdered and attended their funerals, was carjacked, live in the middle of heavy gang activity and drugs. Our Memphis home had bars on every window... abandoned houses on every block that were crack houses and we passed them every day walking to school. So when I hear all the cons about this city I laugh. Denver is truly a gem. It has the most beautiful landscaping you’ll ever see in addition to the mountains, there are hundreds of beautiful parks to take your kids to. DENVER is a breath of fresh air. It may be a thin breath of fresh air, but it’s fresh nonetheless. Yes it’s gotten expensive but you can find really great paying jobs here. I get a 3% cost of living raise every year in addition to the standard raises and bonuses. My kids have been in Cherry Creek school district since they were in kindergarten and they ride the school bus and I’ve never had any major issues...no drive-bys, no gang fights... I don’t live in a rich neighborhood, but it’s not a bad one either. My neighborhood has crime, but not at an alarming rate. It is a great place to establish your family! It is one of the safest places to live! I’ll take bad traffic over the fear of being carjacked every day. I’ll take the unpredictable weather over humid summers with ravenous mosquitoes and flying cockroaches.(There are hardly any mosquitoes in the summer here... sorry that’s a big plus for a southerner😂). the summer nights are perfect! It’s dry here but just stay hydrated, buy chapstick, moisturize and you’ll be fine. The snow isn’t really that bad and hasn’t been heavy in years. 50 degrees here feels like 70 degrees in the south minus the humidity... even 32 degrees with the sun it feels like 45 🤩. I guess what I’m trying to say is there is absolutely nothing bad this guy or anyone could say about Denver that would persuade me otherwise. The drivers here are fine in my book compared to Texan and Floridian drivers...#IlovetheMileHighCity
I’ve never had the man problem. They are falling out of the sky

As a current denver resident looking forward to leaving, this is actually a pretty fair list. However, 1. Mexican food is awful here. 2. Fire hazard due to forest fires is zero in Denver. Only if you live in foothills or mountains is that an issue. But otherwise you pretty much nailed it.
Hey everyone. If you want to move to Colorado and you’re coming from somewhere like California or Texas I would definitely recommend somewhere like Pueblo or Greeley.
Never Greeley... Greeley is horrible
Or grand junction is a BEAUTIFUL area.
@@anjaisabella5492 That's the point
False information… really
@@JuanHerrera-ji5ti None of that here! that's exactly where I would recommend they go! :)
I moved away from the Denver area after living there for 40 years. I can attest to everything in this video. There are two seasons..snowing and HOT (also known as Road Construction, because there is a LOT). Denver's snowiest months are March and April, and it is wet, heavy snow. And you would think people would know how to drive in the snow, but they don't. Flatlanders come to ski, rent 4 wheel drive SUVs, and think they're invincible. It can snow as late as May (spring is unheard of), you cannot plant anything until at least Memorial Day, the then thermometer hits 90 or above and stays there until at least mid-September. Fall might or might not be in October some years. And they say there are 245 sunny days a year, but the sun is unrelenting for at least 350 days a year. You find yourself wishing for a gloomy day. There are no "rush hours"...the traffic is horrible all day long. You wait in line interminably for everything, from restaurants to renewing a driver's license. After the legalization of weed, Denver went from just another big, clogged city to ridiculous. It was the influx of that crowd that drove up the housing prices, rent, and traffic. It was bad before, but it became horrid. Don't even think about enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery, even out of ski season. You will be up there with a million of your friends. In ski season it's just nuts; and yes, if it's been a snowy winter (which actually have become fewer and fewer) some ski areas stay open until June. When I moved there in the 1970s, Denver (and Colorado Springs) were such lovely places. Now they are both sprawling, out of control urban and suburban nightmares. Seriously.
Yeah I've heard from some locals how it was such a great place to live pre-2000, but now there's just too many people and everything is becoming commercialized. Was honestly so hard to find a natural hot spring that wasn't turned into a spa or resort, and the one we did find, had signs with a petition to not let the state sell that land to become another spa or resort, because apparently it was trying to.
Hope you enjoyed the video! Any other cities you'd want me to make a video about?
u are exactly right cindy D i want to leave colorado Springs badly i Just haven't been able to make up my mind on where to go because I've been here my whole life just curious where did you move? and how is it?
You nailed it.
@@shawntheo1603 I hear ya,been wanting out of this congested city for a couple years now,just gotta convince the wife..
Bitch shut up
Denver native here. while I love my city, I am afraid I'm starting to see some problems similar to cities like Seattle and San Francisco, such as a huge homeless population with rampant drug abuse, out in the open drug deals and mental health problems, property crimes etc..and when low level repeat offenders get arrested they're getting charges dropped or released right away instead of receiving some sort of option to break the cycles and get the help they actually need leading to cops being resentful that they can't do their job and criminals having a wild Wild West anything goes attitude.Its the early stages of serious problems starting to rear their ugly head. I don't know enough about politics and their effect on policies to intelligently discuss it, but I think there are some strong correallations.
Denver native as well. Denver has become a total dump, homeless everywhere, trashy, crowded, I-70 is a total joke, will be leaving after I retire.
Voted for leftists, got the societal decay.
Colorado is following California footsteps. Stop voting for commies.
Well no it's not a Wild West attitude. Wild West attitude would be "if I commit bad crimes I might be shot and killed, my victims are a significant occupational health hazard that should maybe have me rethinking such a dangerous line of work and only attempting crimes that are truly worth it, like robbing the Northfield bank and making off with enough money to retire". Denver has a gun control attitude.
I think we can attribute the legalization of marijuana to the reason people like you described are moving here
We just left Denver on 09/20/20 because the crime and violence have gotten so bad I don't know how anyone but criminals can live there!
I have lived here most of my life....moved here in 1968 when I was 11 years old....and yeah things have gotten ugly. Trying to decide where to go.
Exactly Ive lived here all my life and now there's so many assholes here now
@@oracleoracle2655 We're doing some fix-up on our house in Englewood and putting it on the market after the holidays. Moving somewhere south of Clearwater and maybe including Sarasota. I know it's going be hot and humid there for 3-4 months in the summer but it's really nice there the rest of the time.
@Susan Coffman where did you and family moved to?
I’m from Chicago and I live in Denver. If you’re an average (white) person then Denver works great, but I just don’t think it’s diverse enough for me to get that big city vibrance that other cities have. Overall I feel like Denver is well suited for suburbanites from other larger metros
Just moved here from Chicago too and I will say- Aurora is 10x more diverse than Denver itself
And most black ppl don't stick together like other places.

Terrible drivers, some of the worst in the country. I've been to many cities,but this one takes first place for the worst drivers ever, zero road courtesy and a lot of bullies tailgating you all the time.
This is actually true AND factual. There are statistics to prove it. Colorado does not require you actually driving for class to get a license. You simply need to pass their driving test and you're good. No one uses turn signals out here and everyone drives vindictively / with emotion. Can't count the number of times I've needed to merge and watch vehicles literally speed up to block me in. smh
I’ve been here 10 years. The traffic is nothing compared to Houston. Three years there was more than enough.
"...and a lot of bullies tailgating you all the time."
Do you not understand what 'Keep right except to pass' means? Keep out of the left lane and people won't tailgate you.
Colorado: *southern accent* Actually, I don't want to toot my horn but uh... I have the worst drivers

Sooo many of the comments are spot on. I said in the early 2000s that the Denver Metro area would become the next LA, no one listened to me. The traffic and pollution are horrible. Go to the foothills, then look out over Denver, you'll see a brown cloud that you don't see while you're in the Metro area. Cost of living is through the roof right now. Last apartment I had in 2005 went for $625 at 644 sq feet. That same apartment now goes for $1255. It's absurd. Homeless is insane, damn near every intersection has a someone begging for money.
I’m an Colorado native and been here all my life but the traffic here has gotten worse here and rent here is so expensive
Number one reason to not move/live in Denver... Jared Polis!!!

Born and raised in Denver... I just moved to the Springs to get away from it. Too many rude people. Traffic is a joke now.

@@studdruppo the natives are cool but the rude people and bad drivers moved here from other states.
Traffic is out of control here. They did not prepare for this kind of population explosion. The city will be overcome if not dealt with very quickly.
it already is overcome. traffic is bad morning to night including weekends, and there is nowhere to get away from people unless you go really far east.
Brett Karst it’s scary

@Lil Lou It's apparent to me as well. I get that feeling that most of the tax dollars are going elsewhere. I was on the road with the snow and saw not ONE plow. In Iowa for example, they are on it like rats on cheese. I can clearly see how bold this so call shepards of Colorado are by looking at the influstructer that was supposed to be handled and was not. There's no loop around the city, meaning that people are forced into a one way situation. Denver is the only city that does not have a loop. Plus all trucks from LA to NY and so on have to cross I 70 that will not be completed for another 10 years time. Are you kidding me and yet, everyone seems okay with it.

"Houses cost more than 400k"
Me living in San Jose California: "Oh that's cute our houses only cost at an average of over 900k- 1 million"
Maybe look for a house anywhere in the mountains and tell me how many millions they cost avarage
900k gets u a crumbling inner city house in the bay area. 1.5 mil + is what a comparable suburban house would cost here.
Ranesh Prasad yep
In reality most decent houses cost $500k and up. 1950's house with 1,000 square feet and no basement or anything goes for about $350k and up. And for that you get to live in the Denver version of the near ghetto.
Stay in San Jose to much trash from your state here.
