    I've been living in Austin Tx for 15 years and before it got popular to move here. Also I have been in Texas practically all my life and was wanting a fresh start somewhere else. Thinking of Colorado. So thanks for this video.

    My husband and I are from Austin, Tx. We have been considering moving to the Denver area for a while and are taking a trip in October to see if we like it! Denver is such a quick flight to Austin so we would be able to go back and see family so easily.

      Try to spend a work/school week there and not just a weekend if u didn’t consider that already. My wife & I have been many times but it was more around post-covid and during our vacation, summer time than “school time”. I like it but I would like to take my advice & spend time outside of vacation time to really get a feel for the city & surrounding areas.

      Don’t forget to mention all the shooting in down town Denver where the night life is…The huge homeless and drug users near union station and through out the down town area. The large rat population that is now spreading to the suburbs that are 5 miles away.
      Don’t forget to mention all the trash now alone the streets, highways. Everything from paper, bottles, to mattresses, couches, you name it you’ll see it along the roads. You’ll even find trash in the mountains like heading up to popular destinations. People just don’t care to keep Colorado beautiful. Don’t forget the bad pollution and now that so many people moved here traffic sucks big time.

      the closest bite will be Brooklyn's At The Pepsi Center. You can park your car and in the lot and walk over there. obviously can be busy if you try going in the last hour before an event. If you want something nicer, you have Ocean Prime, Capital Grill, or EDGE Restaurant just across Speer and super accessible

    I guess you’d have to be from Texas to consider it walkable lol because by most standards I find the sprawl disgusting. Along with air pollution and overall blandness. If anyone reads this please don’t do it on a whim like I did because a couple ppl you know loved it. I find it’s largely ppl who only lived in one of the nearby states/midwest their whole lives that find it great. Or if you’re obsessed with mountain sports and are willing to spend an hour in traffic just to see anything remotely pretty. It was the most miserable year and a half of my life. And I lived in Vegas 🤢.

    With Car registration, if you're a disabled military veteran the registration is free. I don't know if this is included with anyone that's disabled normally, I'm caregiver to a disabled veteran and since we co-own the vehicle I use to care for him, we don't pay registration fees. At least that has been my experience in Colorado.

    Keep in mind while Denver is certainly more walkable than Texas, it isn’t as walkable relative to several US cities (Seattle, Portland, DC, Chicago, Philly, Boston , NYC just to name a couple).
    It certainly is not walkable at all compared to worldwide standards of walkability. Just want to let others know that!

    The cost of living in the Denver metro area was cheap when I moved here in 1997. But the cost of living here has almost tripled since the late 1990s. A 750-square-foot house near Lakeside was sold for $650,000 last year! The native Coloradians are nice and friendly, but they share too much personal information. They tell you their life story when you first meet them. If you want to live comfortably in the Denver metro area, you need to earn at least $150K a year.

    I will say, if you are moving here from out of state, try to at least live by a couple of rules: try to assimilate a bit and don't be an a**hole. You will find that the real natives, the people who are second, third, fourth generation are the kindest people who will give you the clothes off their backs. Do not take advantage of their kindness, keep in mind, though, that they are incredibly fierce and protective of their city and state. Do not try to make this place something that its not.

    You should probably have someone speak to this who are coming from someplace civilized - Texas, that ain’t. If you’ve lived in some podunk place in the middle of the country, Denver might (LOL) seem better than where they came from. But if you’re coming from NY, LA, Europe, Japan, Canada, basically anywhere other than the Midwest or South, it’s better there, than Denver. To them, Denver is going to be boring, provincial, narrow-minded, bizarrely religious, and stupidly rightwing. The only advantage Denver has, is that it’s cheaper, but that’s balanced out with the fact that there are no good jobs in Denver, so if you still want to get paid a real salary, you’re still gonna need a remote job based somewhere like… NY or LA.
