I feel totally cheated. My wife grew up here and told me stories about great weather and a conservative state. We moved here in 2005, just in time for the housing stupidity, followed by a rush through purple to red and we are now close to the worst gun laws in the country. At the same time I don't know what is soaring faster, housing prices or crime. Grew up in the midwest, lots of lakes. But here, after you fight the I70 traffic that is year round now, what does it take to get a cabin on a lake- and that overgrown pond that is Grand Lake is the only body of water that you can be sure will be at the shore. Got a few million for a cabin on the water up there?
CO is going full CA stupid FAST, and all the hipsters think it is awesome, until they can't buy anything.
I can deal with the crazy housing prices, I can sit in traffic, I can hold my tongue while my intellectual and moral inferiors talk about how evil white people are. What I can't stand is to be constantly threatened with prison time and fines for just owning pieces of plastic and metal. While people scream at me that I have blood on my hands, when all I have is CLP and powder- and their solutions never seem to solve the problem and the blood piles up on their hands through stupid actions that attack the law abiding.
What an Fing mess.t'
Colorado has broken its promise and its value proposition. I'd rather live in Ohio, or Michigan. That's saying something. Sure, CO has low humidity, but it high in stupidity.
