I am a CO native who was itching to see other parts of the country as a 22 year old. I landed it Texas, but appreciate CO so much more now that I am back. My partner also left CO for Louisiana to see a different place and moved back. The grass appears greener on the other side, but I have never seen the poverty level we saw in TX or LA here. One can also never go outside due to the hostile environment: humid heat, fire ants, chiggers, other insects. A black man was also drug to death behind a pickup truck near where I moved in TX. Racism and intolerance of anything but WASP ideals are also much greater. Sometimes it’s not just considerations of the pocketbook. One could buy a cheap house in Niagara Falls, NY for $7000…..there’s a reason it’s cheap (namely it’s located on the old Love Canal superfund site).

A lot of people complain in these comments about how pricing (or any gazillion other reasons) in CO makes it unappealing to live here. People make it work everyday.

Moved from Golden to Houston area over 2 years ago, moving back to Colorado soon , no city is perfect but TX wasn't for me, traffic , property taxes, weather, crime, no scenery, etc. I definitely appreciate CO more now.

This is a well balanced commentary. Moving here from Texas a decade ago with my wife who is a former Colorado resident, has been a wonderful thing though. It has to do with planning (we live on a river and irrigate from it) as well as karma and knowledge. It doesn't hurt that I am a performing musician and play locally for next to nothing or nothing due to my love of music and making people smile. Knowledge of the area keeps us from seeing multitudes of tourists, and we know when to be where. But it comes down to planning, karma, and knowledge. It helps that we are retired educators and truly don't have to be anywhere ever. I can see snow travel as being an issue for those trying to hold down jobs, but we have no concerns that way. Living out in the Rockies, having a great well and raising hay and boarding horses as we do is not a cinch. Things come up all the time like weather, fires, and other natural elements that put us to task, but we both love challenges. I had never cut post oaks and made a latilla fence, worked at safely escorting elk out of a fenced pasture, dodged a mountain lion napping beside the river, or had to coax a black bear out of a chicken coop, or rebuilt and resurfaced a road until we moved here. I'd never even been on a tractor before. The things I've learned. I feel like life here has been Paradise, but again it's not for everyone, and it does require planning, karma, and knowledge of the area. Good work on your video! Thank you kindly!

We've decided that if we were to ever leave the Black Hills, our only destination option would be Colorado (if we can afford to do so).

Back in 2019, I used to work for a rental car company at the DIA and Aurora locations. All of the vehicles were have California, Wyoming or Texas license plates. So just because you see one of those plates doesn’t mean the drivers are from those states.

I’ve lived in half a dozen different states and Colorado is the only one where I felt unwelcome. I get it - housing is crazy expensive and all the old ranches are being turned into developments. The traffic is unbelievable; day or night, the roads are packed. The people who live here do not want even more crowding. Also, I’m shocked to hear that Colorado is #6 for bad drivers. I would have thought it was #1, because everyone here knows someone who was killed or seriously injured in a traffic accident. I lived in New York, and those people are much safer drivers.

It's the natural way of things, I suppose. More people. More traffic. Higher prices. More crime. Living in a tourist state, Tennessee (Nashville), I've seen the negative effects from out-of-staters moving here. The main issue is they don't adapt. They bring "where they come from" with them. Drive like morons. Flip you off when they screw up. Little respect for others. And nasty attitudes. I'm moving to a small town in Colorado where I plan to seamlessly blend into the current spiritis mundi of the area. Being from Chicago originally, I have little fear of traffic. That's the plan, anyway.

Cost of Living is going up all over, it used to be quite easy to find homes here in the mid 100's to mid 200's, now homes are starting at the low 300's and going into the mid 400's. Tourism, San Antonio is a HUGE tourist town, and I understand the idea of traffic increase, and dangers of drivers not from the area. Rush hour here starts at about 4pm and last until 7 or 8pm. Its also just as bad in the mornings going the other way. Dont live outside the 1604 and work downtown.. you'll need to leave a couple hours early to get there on time. We also have many awesome trails here, some that I used to walk that are now filled with people and dog poop bags and litter everywhere. its sad really. I think it all boils down to the song everything that glitters is not gold. Every place a person moves too is first sparkly and great, you ignore the unpleasant things, and about a year in those things are no longer ignored because you know they are a daily deal, and the sparkle wears off. Our Move up there will be due to our Son who was stationed at Buckley SFB.

Not much they can do to improve some of the highways. When you have a cliff on one side and a mountain slope on the other, there just straight up might not be room to expand the road. Use I-70 thru Glenwood Canyon as an example. This was some of the mostly costly stretch of road built anywhere in the world. And there is flat out no room to widen it because of the 1000 foot canyon walls on either side and CO river running below. Mother nature doesn't always leave room and humans are left making the most of what was left.

It looks like RNs make between 70-80k in Colorado. I’m wondering if that will be enough to enjoy all the things the state has to offer? I’m a pretty minimal person. I’d rather spend my money on memories and adventures than big car payments and a 3k a month condo. I think I can do it 💪🏻

@10onpump5: The housing market in CO is -- like most other places -- inflated/overpriced presently, not to mention the ever-increasing mortgage interest rate. But I have no doubt prices/rates WILL be coming down, but not soon. Personally, I'm WAITING, and looking to return to CO in 2 years -- when I am ready to buy (preparing now) -- IF the housing market & interest rates have come down enough, which it SHOULD by then. If not, maybe I'll just rent there, or, stay here in TX (when I am now) and buy...but I prefer to go back to CO -- and buy (a small "starter" home). ;-) FYI, of the 4 major cities in CO -- Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo (north-to-south order) -- only Colorado Springs (COS) leans maybe 60/40 (guessing) conservative/Republican (and Christian), so CO in general is a purple liberal/Democrat state, if not mostly blue (except for COS/El Paso County and some other counties Douglas(where the small city of Castle Rock is) and most rural counties as well. But as in MOST states in Amerc, msot CO cities are blue...Boulder being the most liberal I'm sure. So if you want to live/work among like-minded people (be they liberals/Democrats or conservatives/Republicans) and have the same as neighbors, you might want to look into those kind of things most "Best Cities" list don't get into (but nevertheless, ARE important, like crime stats, public school ratings, and such). For me, the choice would be COS... BTW, you're getting a great degree which will serve you well employment-wise (can get a job almost ANYWHERE!) and make very decent money to afford things -- like housing (!) -- especially if you go on to become a NP later on. Also, look into working for the Department of Veterans Affairs, as they have VA Clinics in several CO cities, and the big VA Medical Facility in the Denver area ("VA Rocky Mountain VA Regional Medical Center" in Aurora) -- a fairly new facility that opened just a few years ago. The VA has it's Pros & Cons (like the huge number of patients each VA Primary Care provider is assigned), but they are always looking to hire medical professionals. If nothing else you could gain OJT experience. Not sure how the pay compares to the civilian world, but some people prefer the VA while others prefer to work in "civilian" medical -- maybe at a city hospital or ER facility. For example COS has St. Francis hospital and the huge University of Colorado Healthcare System/Memorial Hospital, and they also staff the local UC Health ERs. Good luck, -- BR

apart from tourism, is there any IT job market in Colorado in case to switch to a new job after some time moving there?

Well, the negatives (drugs/crime/homeless) are more prevalent in the liberal Democrat-run cities in CO, especially Denver. Same is true elsewhere in America, (no surprise really). I didn't see that much of it in Colorado Springs (COS), although like MOST cities, it does have its bad areas. However, I think COS has a minimal number of them. ;-) Pueblo CO, not too far south COS, is mostly Hispanic and they DO have crime/gang issues. I don't know anyone who would want to move to "depressing" Pueblo unless they had to -- not so much re: crime but it just seems pretty boring, AND gets hotter in the Summer vs the other 3 major cities. Stick to one of them (Boulder, Denver and the Springs) or, move out into the country a little ways and get some land. Or move to a smaller mountain town such as Woodland Park. There are many such smaller, quieter places in CO. Or if you have BIG money (!), move to one of the ski resort towns such as Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, Aspen, Vail, Crested Butte, etc...VERY pretty/scenic out there but you sure do pay big-time for it. And "Tourist Season" can get a little "annoying" for locals, AND you're kind of out in the sticks -- meaning, not that close to the major cities of CO. If I were a millionaire (you need at least $1M to start looking for a property, BUYING it likely will cost more!), I'd look into one of those resort towns, but for several reasons, would still likely choose COS instead. Okay, "Dream Time" is over...sorry for the digression. ;-) -- BR

Many native Coloradans have left for Montana and Idaho, and they will tell you Montana is actually more like Colorado than Colorado today.

There's differences obviously but so many similarities. I left for 4 years and came back to Colorado just to see how much it was like California and how much it's changed because of outsiders. It's honestly baffling. But you're right. Things are happening so fast and times not slowing down. Before you know it we'll be sitting here and it'll be 2030 and it will be worse than before. Denver is growing fast not only in the city. But they're building apartments everywhere around the metro area. Especially out east by the airport where there's a whole lot of nothing. It's gonna be interesting to see what it comes to be but nothing you're saying is far fetched at all. The Colorado it is now isn't the Colorado I grew up in during the 2000's that's for sure.

We didn’t buy a new build and we have always been extremely environmentally conscious and we strive to make choices regarding the environment as well as minimizing our trash as well which affects us every day. We have to leave Texas as it’s simply an entire state of pure hell. From the heat, lax gun laws, politics a majority of the resident are far-right extreme leaning, and the atmosphere has become so TOXIC that the city that we live in now, we became victims of personal attacks which involved THREATS to not only our home but OUR lives as well!!! WHO TF believes that since WE do not share the same political views that it is ACCEPTABLE to verbally abuse a family and even flagrantly issue THREATS!!! We were facing bodily harm as well as threats of BURNING out house down??? And IF we refused to change we face “we are gonna have to teach you”!!! WHAT??? I was a Houston native and live for women involves NEVER allowing your self to let your guard down!! The crime rate is OUT of control, the homeless population is at every street corner and many are aggressive, the TRAFFIC is a nightmare 24/7, highway and road construction is never ending, and everyone forgets how to drive when it rains!!! It’s too dangerous to live here anymore as you CAN be shot at when you are driving, and person on person crime is rising so you MUST be on guard at all times. We also must take into consideration that Abbott the Abomination has refused to pass MANY Federal government programs that so many people who are in desperate need for help are being denied due to Abbott’s REFUSAL as he doesn’t want to be exposed as being aligned with Biden but Abbott is causing THOUSANDS of Texas residents to have access to these programs. On top of everything else, the Texas power grid is NOT mandated by the Federal Government which allows the state to manipulate the power structure which is causing higher prices as well as allowing ERCOT to act as their own oversight which lead to the great freeze a few years ago in which close to one thousand people died. The hundreds, most likely more than a thousand, as the victims died as a result to the freeze causing their body to react from the freeze, Abbott did not list those deaths as he considered them from natural causes. Abbott is a criminal and he does NOT care one bit as we all suffered too!

I moved to CO 35 years ago. It was a red state back then. It was a wonderful place to live. As the state has turned blue, crime and homelessness have soared. It’s such a shame.

I see a lot more Florida and Texas plates as people flee the abject hate of Abbott and DeSantis. So, you should blame your own dysfunctional party for the influx of people moving here, maybe we can prevent the repeat of a national embarrassment like Boebert in the future.

Man this is getting old… first, not everyone coming from CA is born/raised. There are a lot of folks, myself included, who are from CO or other midwestern states who PCS’d or were forced to move to CA and are just trying to get back to family. Second, not everyone heading to CO are from LA or San Francisco or some large extreme leftwing group looking to change CO. We came from a small town in northern CA near the foothills close to Tahoe which is mainly farming communities… anyone who’s actually lived in CA would also tell you it’s a “blue state wrapped in red tape” and has people of all walks with similar views / values that can be found in other states -CO included. Third, most of us aren’t looking to trash CO or take anything away from others, we are just looking to get back to family, raise our kids and add to a community that we can grow within. Like all states, CA has problems but it also probably one of the coolest states for recreation in the country and most of us respect our national parks, trails and wildlife and this carries over to CO. With that said, while there has been an overall net gain for CO there have been almost as many Colorado residents migrating to both CA and TX so the claim that “natives” should be voting out transplants from other states is small minded. Don’t be the asshole that just shits on people because you see the out-of-state licenses plate- you have no idea why these people are moving. Instead just be a neighbor and if you do find someone who is outside their element and maybe not fitting the vibe of the community then be part of the solution and help educate instead of just telling them to piss off back to where they came from.
