I think we'll see Denver start look a lot like San Francisco. Middle class will be pushed out leaving only those on programs and the super wealthy. Sky-high taxes, cost of living, etc... Denver post has a real estate story on the main page this morning with a video claiming average detached home price is now $378,000. I don't see how working class families can afford that, let alone young people just starting out in life.
(this may invoke some "Duh" replies) I think the system's kind of set up so people basically become wage-slaves when they sign up for mortgages to cover the $400,000 home prices. Makes them quite obedient and indebted to the government (got a bridge to sell to those who don't think the mortgage companies & banks are basically 1st cousins of the fed government) and less likely to start trouble or quit their jobs that are increasingly becoming entrenched in government programs in order to exist via tax-discount programs (women-owned business, "diversified employees" business, located-in-a-warzone [the hood] business, etc).
