I lived in Colorado for 25 years. Left maybe 20 years ago. When I go back now, I agree with those who call it unrecognizable.
I hope you’re able to make the best of your memories and able to create new ones 😊🤗
The same can be said for every major city in the US it seems. The acceleration of growth in the past 10 years along has been so much faster than previous decades. Some cities of course have seen this more than others
@@thru_and_thru totally agree! Thanks for the comment 🙌🏼
No matter where you move to today people are very unhappy today. Society is just not happy. Make yourself happy stop making mistakes.
I agree. You can’t go based off internet opinions because it’s mostly unhappy people leaving negative comments. I’m from Miami, guess what people complain about there. The same shit. “Too many people moving here, bad drivers, too expensive, I don’t recognize it anymore”
And stop voting democrat.
People are definitely miserable nowadays….misery loves company…..
1. Crime
2. Homeless
3. Horrible schools
4. Filth
5. People from California.
6. Cost of living.
7. When your house goes up 350k in 2 years so do your property taxes.
8. People from out of state trying to destroy the mountains.
9. Hippies
10. The governor from California who was not elected by the people of Colorado but by Denver and Boulder.
Nailed it! My wife and I also found out that the schools near and around Denver and Boulder are pushing CRT and the pedophilia crap. That was the last draw. We packed up and moved to Texas a year ago. Much better environment for our daughter here.
I have to agree. I no longer feel at home anymore in CO because it has changed so much in the last 20-25 years. Another thing that sickens me are all the subdivisions being built anywhere and everywhere.
Add: running out of water. Fights over water heating up. Turning into a dust bowl.
@@GeorgeSawtooth please move to another state. Thank you!
Lol. Your list is what describes every city in Texas and every other state. Of course half your list is hyperbole and the Fox News whining you weirdos post nonstop. Lol
We are in Illinois and for years wanted to move Colorado Springs but then stayed a while in Grand Junction and like it. Water issues, home prices and liberal dominance are making us look harder at Wyoming.
What are liberals dominating in your life?
Yes, don’t come to Colorado. Sane people only.
@@mikedcaffey cities dominated by liberals tend to get worse in every way
@@mikedcaffeyikr people need to let go of the politics and just enjoy life and I’m no liberal by any means but come on man lol
I’m moving from a free state Florida to the foot hills of Colorado about an hour west of Denver, more of a conservative area….I would never move to a larger city ever again.
I lived in the Denver area for over 50 years. I’ve moved to Tennessee and absolutely love it here. The changes over the last several years has left it unrecognizable and most of my friends left for other less expensive, lower taxes, and friendlier to seniors, states.
Tennessee is the newest go to for Transplants now... Be prepared for it to be ruined in the next 5 years.... Traffic, RUDE people, BAD drivers, BETTER than you A..wipes... LOL... Enjoy....
Lol
One important fact about CO: in the last 20 years the winters have been less snowy and warmer than normal so the people who have moved here in that time span do not realize that CO and Denver prior to the late 1990's had fairly cold and snowy winters. I am a CO native and have noticed how different the weather patterns are now from the normal patterns 30 years ago. I've also noticed that thunderstorms are not as frequent as they used to be as well in the summer. If the weather ever returned to what is was, you might have some pretty unhappy transplants.
True. The weather is a lot warmer I don’t even recognize it anymore.
I’m from Massachusetts and our winters were *famously* snowy and cold through the 70s (when I was born), 80s, and 90s. Winter began in late September/early October. By halloween our noses would be running into our masks and we’d be *freezing* in our costumes. For the oast few years we have worn t-shirts on New Years. It’s not right. At all. Some winters don’t even really happen. I don’t know what to even say about it.
@@johnorsomeone4609 Yes the overall climate has changed. I've owned a house since the mid-1990's and I remember putting my lawnmower away in September or October but now these last 15 years I'm putting away the mover in late November. The weather has changed but sadly even a lot of the native Coloradoans I talk to have acclimated to this new climate and have forgotten about CO's old climate. This winter they think has been very harsh but in actuality it has been fairly normal. This March we have not received much snow so far but March is the snowiest month for CO but it hasn't materialized. I'm curious to see the Summer because really I haven't seen a good thunderstorm in years. When I was a kid in eastern CO there were thunderstorms almost every day in June, July, and August.
I've lived in Denver for over 50 years and the winter weather now is like is was in the 1970s. In contrast, Winters in the 1980s set records for cold.These are all normal multi-decade cycles.
@@PantheraOnca60 I disagree. The last 20 years have been dryer and warmer winters while the summers are hotter and dryer. Are you talking about this winter being normal? Yes this winter was fairly normal. I have data that backs up my analysis. The 70's were definitely not like the last 20 years maybe more like this winter of 2022/2023.
I'd add sprawl... Big part of the traffic and infrastructure as well as skyrocketing housing cost as they aren't building small homes(and ripping down those smaller affordable homes to build large apartment/condo blocks and the survivors got expensive). For instance, my first home in the Baker historic district I bought in '95 for $43k a year out of college (house payment was less than my car payments). Now it would list at half a million for a 725sf rowhouse.
Holy cats!! That's crazy. I like the Baker neighborhood, and totally understand the desire to be in that neighborhood. Denver grew so quick, so yes, infrastructure is playing catch up. I love the characteristics of the older homes too. Thanks for the comment :)
Platte River. Dedicated train to airport called the "A" train . 58 miles of light rail in three directions.
I do a lot of road work around the Boulder area. It's amazing the amount of projects which are popping up.
Thank you for your work! Please move to Forney Texas and help THIS PLACE build out roads. Seems the home salespeople just jam the place and the road system is an afterthought.
Traffic , traffic, traffic , traffic, traffic, traffic , traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic (that's 10) EXPENSIVE!!! (That's 11)
Totally agree - the traffic is no bueno! From my
2.5 years living in Seattle, I learned that having water on either side made traffic so much worse. There was only 2 ways in and 2 ways out, super frustrating. I feel like Denver is improving though (slowly but surely), at least we don’t have a water restriction 🤷🏻♀️
@@katiemartineau-therealesta8443ive lived here my whole life. I
@@davejarvis7522 we should set for coffee! Send me a DM and I’d love to get together and pick your brain
Traffic lol try central Florida
Denver doesn’t have traffic
ya just showed up on my feed, very entertaining, love the music and drone footage!
Thanks for the compliment Robert!! Flying the drone is so fun, and it definitely gives people a different view, then just walking or driving around
If you have a heart condition beware because of the thin air. A beautiful young lady next door to me died suddenly because of this. Denver's altitude is above 5,000 feet.
5000 is nothing.
Don't go down or in the platte river lol. Believe me the locals do not do that. It stinks 🦨😬. We Colorado folk choose a cleaner stream or river to do rafting. Like clear creak for example
The 💩 plant drains the water back into the platt river
Well damn - I’ve done it a couple times and it’s really fun. I know Lyons has a place and one in boulder too
Yup go to Golden for rafting
Also, watch out for homeless camps by the river.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN got it!! I’ll check it out when the weather is better
So...
I don't like traffic or hustle and bustle. Outside Denver, in the mountains, is the place for me! Thanks! 😁
Lower altitude is healthier. More O2 is better for the body.
@@ganymeade5151 I also like trees and clean air.
Just bought land in Bailey, Colorado an hour west of Denver..
I was really hoping to hear some negative things about the Denver area, But these are all just facts! Good video if you are new to Denver or thinking of moving this is a good video to check out.
Thanks David! Yes, you’re correct - I’m targeting more about things to be aware of. Appreciate you watching :)
Yes, that's true,I live here in Lakewood Colorado, when I go out,so much traffic.😡
Please stay there. Or move out of the state.
I am on my third bumper on my Subaru due to be hit from behind while sitting in traffic. It can take two to three hours to drive twenty miles and it is only getting worse.
It not really that bad. Just stay west, up close to where Rockies start. Best water, best view & air is better/crisper. Traffic is not as bad as described.
Totally agree with you! I like to go into it with the thought of "you can't change if there's traffic, so why get frustrated over it". I dont get mad at crappy drivers anymore or if I have to wait... that frustration isn't doing anyone any good. And, I personally enjoy all of the benefits of Colorado/Denver. So if I have to put up with some negatives, so be it! I'm still happy :) It sounds like you already live in Colorado - where abouts are you?
F' U
Just purchased land(4.5 acres) in Park County we will build soon….
My uncle told me to learn the side streets. That was the best advice. I rarely hit the interstate.
How long ago did you move from California???
Real estate maggot she is.
got her. Not
30+ year resident of Denver metro area here. I’ve seen the city grow a lot. And yes, the transportation infrastructure hasn’t kept up, which means there are too many cars on too few roadways. The roadways are also poorly maintained, and the freeze/thaw cycles of winter weather are damaging to road surfaces, which leads to holes in the streets. The weather here is the best and worst. There are a lot of beautiful sunny days but they can be offset by cold temperatures and monster blizzards. Yes, it is dry air, and people from other parts of the country may miss the lushness and greenery they left behind in their home states. We don’t have the best growing season if you like to do your own gardening. But overall, I’ve stayed in Colorado because the plusses outweigh the negatives.
Rocko, I really appreciate your insight and feedback! The odd blizzards excite me along with the bipolar temps :) thank you so much for commenting and watching my video 🤗 it means a lot to me
I'm not sure your ending goes with your title. It was a total sale of CO! I'm frustrated with this - been here since 1974.
My goal is to educate on facts about Denver and Colorado as a whole. I think it’s a great place, and compiled items that people nit pick and complain about. You’ve definitely seen a change in culture and demographics. I’d be happy to connect offline about your thoughts!
You seem like an upbeat person. Why people are on here with really unkind comments, I have no idea. I travel to Denver every year, and have lots of friends who live there (Wash park, where I think maybe you filmed this?)
Anyway-thanks for the video. And I applaud your positive responses to the “haters” ❤
Thank you for the comment & compliment Alison! I had no idea this video would get this much traction 😂. Any exposure is good exposure, right? Haha
Because we wanted to see a real person giving real reason to stay out of DENVER NOT mixing it up with Colorado! She is just a real estate agent trying to drum up business.
@@larrygrebler5054 thanks for watching Larry!
For someone who doesn't love living around a lot of concrete buildings, is there a city in CO besides Denver you recommend for singles in their 30s?
Yes!! I think you should check out Golden, Colorado. It’s right on the brink of the mountains and is nestled away. Still breweries and you get folks around our age. You might also like up north in Fort Collins or Loveland. Potentially even Colorado Springs, though it has its own city type vibes
Having lived in Denver for over 50 years, I have to say that the quality of life here has deteriorated terribly. I-70 going into the mountains is a parking lot on Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings year round. Want to go hiking? Get ready to be up at 4 a.m. just to get a parking spot at the trailhead in the high country. I gave up skiing years ago because the traffic is obscene.
Platte river is spelled with an e at the end, Platte, not platt. Thanks
It's spelled both ways, actually. But thank you for pointing that out.... I know some people can get super confused and not have any idea on what river I'm actually talking about. I'm glad you highlighted it. So sorry for the confusion. Thanks.
Hello - nice video- good points but you left out many main, and real world cons of the issues. Not to knock your post in any way- but there are at lease 5 to 7 other cons to coming here, staying here and the benefits of leaving
Colorado native great place to grow up in the 70s and 80s ...sad to say l left during the pot rush and will never go back
poors
Seems like it’s similar to Phoenix except for the weather. Traffic here sucks, and the weather depends on what part you’re in,
It is.
Denver use to be like Phoenix was. Great value and affordable for what you get etc…..
Now Denver is unbelievably expensive and like Denver, Phoenix is slowly making it way there too. Phoenix is just behind by about 10 years.
And of course as that happens traffic and crime gets worse as the cost of living soars.
I just moved to Greeley from st Augustine Florida it’s not that bad here just cold as fuck
Well today, yeah!! It’s freezing lol. Tomorrow will be warmer and you can look forward to all of the days of sun coming up too :) fall is my favorite time of year with 40 degree differences from night to day. Welcome!!
Why? FL is so much better as far as being livable. Colorado is great to visit but not to live daily.
@@michaelchristopher1989 no that’s Florida lol the people there are just awful for the most part and the crime is through the roof
@@michaelchristopher1989 move to Florida. Byee
We’re moving to Park county Colorado soon from the Tampa bay area, going to try and keep a residence here also, we’ll see..
Ah, I was curious if you were from there. I can't picture a native Coloradoan wanted outsiders to move there.
Thanks for all the information
Thanks for watching Jessica! Please let me know what type of information you’d like to see/hear more about :)
"Metro cluster" is a great way to describe Denver
That’s a good way to put it! I was doing research yesterday and westminster is doing really well and updating and maintains infrastructure! They’re putting in a corridor for pedistrians. One step at a time - hopefully people can deal with the construction for a little bit. It’s for a good cause!
Wow thank you so much for this video . I've been truck driving for over 5 years now I love other things to do. Real estate is also one of my things. And im a writer I would like to be the next Stephen king some day ..
That’s amazing!! UA-cam is a great thing to have as you drive - same with podcasting. What type of real estate things are you into? Feel free to message me 720-679-4045 to chat!
Reason # 1: Being a short white guy that wears glasses with blond hair, and everyone asks you if you are related to John Denver. Then they ask if you have any of that "Rockey Mountain High" weed on you. So annoying.
LMAO ....at least you are compared to good person...just say, yes...and ask them if they want to hear a song?
Can you tell me about Colorado spring ?
There isn't one. If by "spring" you mean 70s and sunshine. It happens for about a week, usually in May. Prior to that it's 40-60s, occasionally 70, but snowstorms in March and usually cloudy and rainy in April. So it stays cool, and then, by the end of May it's high-80s/90s.... Summer. Fall is by far my favorite. Dry. Sunny. 80s during the day, 30-40s at night.
To the first point, as a native, I've gotten used to dry skin and not having the need or desperation for chap sticks :D I actually enjoy it without and how good the dryness feels
I just wish my hair grew! It stops just past shoulder length lol. Thanks for watching!
Everything that was worth moving to Denver for has disappeared over 10 years ago. It’s a total apocalyptic shithole now akin to skid row in LA or Detroit .
Living here over 35 years now.
Got that right a true democrati shit hole....
Thanks for watching and Sorry to hear of your negative views on Denver :/ it’s definitely changed since you been (obviously). Why do you stay if you’re not a fan? Family?
@@katiemartineau-therealesta8443 100% family and I’d rather stay and up my income skill level to compete instead of tuck tail and move. I figure I’ve outlived the natives that moved out I’ll outlive the transplants that will move after economy tanks .
@@nikitachirich7985 I appreciate the big picture view 🙌🏼 a lot of people get too focused (IMO) on the right now, this second. Small sacrifices for a big reward
@@katiemartineau-therealesta8443 Alot of people are followers, most probably moved here because someone else moved here or they got in on the hot real estate sell off. Either way they'll be the ones to sell off first at a loss ofcourse when the rest of the market takes a dump and with job losses Denver will be down to 25% of what it is now.
Extremely hot summers 100 F. to 110 F. with intense traffic congestion. No one walks.
What is up with this summer?? Haha it’s been record high everywhere! Crazy news. Luckily cooler mornings :) my favorite!! Thank you for watching my channel
Denver is an industrial wasteland and suburban sprawl hell. Since marijuana has been legalized the city has turned into an over crowded toilet. Hey, at least you can see the mountains... sometimes. Only takes 4 hours to get there!
You’re literally describing every major city in every state, minus your goofy weed diatribe.
Top reason Lodo Yuppville with high prices and boring ...go to Lakewood Golden Arvada
You didn't mention the overall crime rate....or the extremely high auto theft rates... Or having your car hammered by hale every summer. Homeowners insurance is very high, because of previously mentioned hale and don't forget the air quality is also impacted by the neverending wildfire season....oh...and the horrible drivers especially in winter.... Because of all the transplants that have never driven in snow
New mayor about to focus on crime & homeless.
Remember that we have 300 days of sunshine! But, our state bird is the mosquito.
Can’t be worse than Texas mosquitoes.
If I do visit Denver, I will visit a Winchell's Donut Shop. Sorry that the Mile High City has crumbled.
It hasn’t crumbled!! Promise! I didn’t grow up here, so idk what it was like before, but I love it and I’m not a yuppy or unrealistic person. 😁 there are Crumbl cookie stores in a lot of areas tho 😉 those are super yummy
1) The brown cloud and air quality. 2) Crime is out of control. 3)Traffic and driver attitude.4) Backwards people moving there thinking the mountains and scenery will bring happiness into their life.
Welcome to life.
Work at home policies can reduce traffic.
Yes!! Now I get to avoid rush hour times and I love it. Another reason people want to relocate to amazing places, like CO - because they can work remote when they desire
Good information. Your voice is kinda low in comparison to the music. Just Sayin.
Oh shoot! Thank you so much for commenting this - I'll keep that in mind when I preview the videos next time. I very much appreciate the comment :)
Thanks for the truth about Denver.
More to come!! Please let me know what type of information you’d like me to touch on and I’ll incorporate in the next video similar to this topic
Darling the phone you bought
Analogy : Developers building like mad men is akin to pimps at a nympho's picnic .....lol
Yes Linda yes.🤣🤣
Always ranked in the top 5 for worst air quality in the US.
From what source? I just looked at American lung association, and it looks like denver is #7 and Fort Collins is 18 for ozone. We are the highest elevated city. But Colorado isn’t on the list for short term particle pollution or year round particle pollution
Only thing I don't like is the dog obsession in Denver---people take them everywhere--and they live in tiny studio apartments---they can be loud!
Totally know what you mean! There are more dogs than kiddos - that’s crazy to me! Good hiking buddies tho!
IN THE LAST 20 YEARS DENVER IS HAS BECOME A POPULAR PLACE FOR THE HOMELESS PEOPLE AND THAT SUCKS BECAUSE ALL OF THE BEGINNING AND THE HOMELESS CAMPING IN THE STREETS HATE IT
I understand what you're saying... I think the weather has a major factor since it's pretty mild compared to some other areas that have extreme conditions. Pretty common that if population goes up, so does the homeless population, traffic, housing, etc. I know a couple non profits that are combating homelessness for children and families. Thank you for watching my channel. Please lmk if I can help with anything
It wouldn't be a bad idea to start supporting causes that aim to house the homeless and attack the systemic reasons for homelessness in the first place.
@@JSmusiqalthinka the organization my friend used to work for is Urban Peak. I’m going to check them out for volunteering to help plan their annual event. Here’s there mission 👉🏼 Urban Peak ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives.
That's why western suburbs way better
@@katiemartineau-therealesta8443 The mass migration to Colorado started when they foolishly legalized marijuana.
No water on the Western slope,so Denver and springs are going to be in trouble!!!all their water comes from Western Colorado!!!!
You're definitely right! Aquifers, reservoirs, but mainly Colorado is so dry. It's kind of crazy to think that there are areas of Colorado that require flood insurance too. Hopefully the Rocky Mountains will provide a good amount of snow/runoff this year
The only place in Colorado I would live is in the western slope.
Yes! The beauty is unreal 🙌🏼 thanks for watching my channel
HUSH!
It's pretty car centric for a city full of supposed environmental greenies. You don't even have a rail from Denver to Boulder and the roads are absolute shit. Probably amongst the worse in the country.
I found on Consumer affairs that we rank 8th worst, and I feel it’s because we had a huge boom of people that they’re trying to catch up on. Here’s what the article said: Colorado received a C-minus on its most recent Infrastructure Report Card. According to the ASCE, the state suffers from low investments in “operation, maintenance, expansion, and innovation to Colorado’s roadways,”
Also, BYOB. Unless you guys like "dating" single moms, feminists, and hoes. ( this one looks post-wall) and downtown is really expensive , and the two interstate highways also carry all the local traffic. "Rush hour" traffic is three hours of gridlock. Ah , denver. How I miss thee. Oh yeah, also all the tourists that can't drive, I have no idea how they got here.
Hey I’m not any of those things 😂 surround yourself with people you want to be like, right? I know some places that have great food and drink specials - video to come!
I mean tourists are tourists right? There’s always going to be bad drivers. Some ppl
Just don’t understand the zipper haha. Thanks for watching my video tho!!
Mmm. What a great guy you are, Tom. 😂
@@alisonf6478 happy women's day. That was a man that took a trophy. The patriarchy wins again.
Shocked you couldn’t find a woman to like you. Not
What is the point of this video exactly?
You spelled Platt wrong it's The Platte River
Oops, you’re right!! I think my video editor saw “Platt Park” and thought it was the same. Interesting how they’re slightly different. Good catch!
It's a nasty river.
@@sparrowflying864 it’s not the cleanest! But at least you can see the bottom 😊
You failed to mention the blight the marijuana trade brought to the city. That would be con 11.
I will do another video!
lol. “blight”. Too funny
Not to be picky, Colorado is a state - not a city. Also, we have infrastructure problems and not "issues."
Must have misspoken, hopefully I didn’t confuse you too much….
and people that then move into the mountains are making "them suck" too.
I worked in Denver a few years ago. Instead of a beautiful city, I found a place filled with homeless druggies. And the air quality is horrible.
Thanks for watching Sammy! What part of town did you work & live? The further from the city, the cleaner it is, it feels like 😁
New mayor about to remove the homeless.
#11, Lauren Boebert
It was fantastic in 1980s. Not my place anymore.
so when few people lived there. Lol
You forgot broncos.
Do you mean don’t move here if you don’t like the broncos? The stadium is awesome and I can’t wait to see the upgrades they’re working on right now :) hopefully our new coach will be a step in the right direction 🤗
How about the crime rate,how about the insane taxes, how about the cost of utilities, and let's not talk about rent rates and the high cost of homes. Your right don't move to Denver.
Yeah! You get it… I picked 10 things. You should make a video of the ones you listed 🙃
I was born and raised in Colorado. Graduated from Littleton High school in the early 1970's. It's been at least 25 years since I've been there. It is a Democrat state so I moved to beautiful Florida. I use to be based in Aspen when I was flying Lear jets. I also had my real estate "brokers license". I left Colorado because it was a democratic state...and I am definitely not a Democrat. Florida is wonderf.
Then why did you click on this video 😂🙄
ul.
Been here for 28 years now. Going to move soon. People here used to be nice. Crime is high. Traffic is horrible. And far too blue for me. Goodbye Denver! It was a good run.
Yes, please move. City will be better when you lunatics are gone. Lol
We live in the Tampa area and just purchased 4.5 acres in Park County…hopefully we will have a dual residence…
Coloradans (natives) are also not friendly. Add the Texans moving in and it’s so much worse. It’s also boring. If ChiTown is a second city, Denver isn’t a city at all.
Totally see where you’re coming from - denver is spread out to all the major cities. Population brings it up to ‘compete’ with those. In my experiences, if I’m cherry and positive, I get that in return 😁 mindset is big for me
I can only imagine what Op finds exciting anywhere. Lol
Only reason I wouldn't move to Denver is the Broncos lol. Just kidding kinda. Beautiful stadium that is great for concerts though. I saw Metallica both a Mile High and what used to be the Pepsi Center. I'm a Kansas guy with friends and family that live in Colorado so I visit once a year or so. Beautiful city, but it has gotten drier with climate change, and the population has exploded over the last 20 years. Homelessness is getting worse there too. I have been in the i-70 rush hour parking lot, and yes, traffic is an issue lol
Thanks for the comment Logan 😊 sounds like a pretty good experience you’ve had! Yeah, totally agree that broncos could have an improvement….
make it sound worse geeze you tryna get everyone to move here. most of thos things even as cons seem great when compared to other cities
Whoa .... you totally forgot the legalization of the entry way drug of WEED and well that its everywhere. What about the homeless and tent city... SF lookalike soon. Yes, its true
With the warmer weather, yeah, homeless population seems to be more prevalent, but that’s with all major cities, I feel. I thought I mentioned weed, did I not??
“entry way drug” LOL. Weed has been proven to not be a gateway in every study.
I hear Denver looking like LA now days
Oh I wouldn’t go that far! There are challenges and a lot of groups trying to maintain Colorados beauty. Including homelessness and preserving community
“I hear”. Lol
You sell real estate but don't move here !? Interesting business strategy . 🤪
I know - kinda opposite. I research the title first to see what ppl are searching. Gets my name out there and starts conversations 🤷🏻♀️ some people are attracted to the negative.
Crime, politics, smells like weed. I understand you do not want to make the area seem too bad because it's where you live and make your money, but be a little more honest.
Hey, thanks so much for watching and your input!. And those are all things that people could research on their own too. I like to be cautious of reporting on crime, though, because, as a realtor, I can get in trouble for steering. Any major city will have crime, for sure! I actually I don’t notice a lot of weed smell and I’m in public and around downtown a lot. I’m sensitive to the smell, but I don’t feel that it wafts the streets. That’s just my opinion!
You’re right about politics. l
Lauren Hoebert is a fucking embarrassing to our great state.
@panicfan966 with her, I will have to agree to disagree. I'm ok with her.
@@KingAbaddon thanks SD!! Of course Colorado has issues…. Literally every state and county is going to have SOMETHING. Sorry to the other person for not having this be a b!tch fest.

@@Cryptocrazyog I don't and I won't
@@rogerbartlet5720 good. Live in another state. Maybe one that controls your body.
@@blackout07blue non sequitur - you must be stoned
Some other cons... High crime and many homeless in downtown Denver. Plus, we have a crappy baseball team.
At least the stadium has amazing sunsets 🤩🤩 I love the Rockies stadium and the energy on the rooftop. Hopefully there’s a silver living for you 😊
@@katiemartineau-therealesta8443 Great ballpark. Always fun going to games there. But the team is bad and ownership has little interest in winning.
Denver and Boulder gasf
And COLORado needs more People of COLOR. There are racists and bigots there too. Just moved back to West Los Angeles, after 16 years in Colorado. 3 incidences with police and whyt people crap
Denver's overrated I was there a few years back it's just a big dirt ball.....lol
aw bummer! What part did you visit? I’ve been all over and I still find new things and positive people 😊
Platte, not Platt.
Platt park, platte river
The Denver Metro Area is so overrated.
Really people, it is not worth moving here.
The best days all along the front range are long gone and will never return.
Nothing but traffic, crime, homelessness, drugs, high cost of living and dangerous smog levels.
Thank you for your feedback! You can really put a negative light on any major city with all of the things you listed. More popular cities are always going to have the things you listed, but that's why there are nieghborhoods that have different vibes, characteristics, more or less police ratios per people. Check out my other videos on different neighborhoods!
NO hospitality in Denver. Southern style or otherwise. Pandemic has severely frozen this town.
Hey now! I have all of the hospitality!! Haha. I’ve met some amazing business owners and know some great restaurants of people that will take care of you - what are you looking for?
Nope way friendlier than the South
I think Denver is far friendlier than most other US cities, cuz there's such a high %-age of the population that isn't from here. If you're gonna stay, you gotta be social. 😁 I've worked in the South. Still vestiges of the JC era in many areas.
@@asajayunknown6290 totally agree with you on positivity 🙌🏼 I lived in Seattle for 2.5 years and it was hard!! Ppl are pretty cold compared to here. Weather ☀️ affects people, so I think the sun here is a huge factor on positivity too. Thanks so much for the comment
Liberals, Liberals, Liberals…save your money and move to Colorado Springs
Lol. Just move to another state.
Damn she cute af!! Imma buy me a house in Denver!!
And professional too 🤗 haha. Let me know if there’s anything I can help with
Democrats did the same thing to Denver that they have done to every major city in America. They make it so expensive to conduct a profitable business in their city that most of them leave. That is why most of downtown Denver consists of high rise buildings with the lower level doors and windows boarded up. Democrats by design run out all the employers so that the masses become entirely dependent on government handouts just to survive. From that point on the majority of people in that city will vote Democrat because they are afraid that a Republican mayor will take away the government assistance that was forced on them by the Democrats chasing off all the employers with their excessive taxes and fees making it impossible to make a profit.
Denver has very low unemployment and the economy is thriving. Lol
Then why are there so many businesses?
I agree..that’s why cities are run down and a shitty place to live, thanks to the Dems…people are deaf and blind who vote blue.
Hi katie i watch ur video can u help me find a apartment or house for rent we were looking. Whats the best way to contact you pls help me thank you
Thanks colorado congress people since you guys legalized marihuana all colorado got delinquency all around the state thanks again congress you got thousands of illegal workers who really really need legalization but you guys preferred legalize drugs instead people in need of a legal status and you guys filled a beautiful state with criminals moving into the state looking for marihuana.
Blah Blah Blah. I think that all of these "Don't move to ___" videos are specifically made to keep us Californians out. Californication will happen regardless just like it did to Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and Tennessee.
Definitively not targeted towards a specific state! We actually get a lot of people moving here from Vermont, Idaho, Oregon, Arizona! California is such a big state and it can seem weighted. People are going to move in and out regardless 😊 no judgement here!
The only reason I need to know that is that it's a blue state
I feel like it’s more purple than blue - don’t you agree?
Bluer state is why is has so much freedom. Polis is libertarian.
@@blackout07bluefreedom would be a red state.
Liberals, liberals and more liberals
They are out there!
If only we had more of the Fox News nutjobs… lmao
Typical city….the areas in the mountains are more conservative..
The blue plague moved in and destroyed the Denver metro area.
I’m not hip - what’s the blue plague?
