Only detractor: fewer job opportunities.

If it keeps sucking over there, ya'll need to come over here and help bust us off of Colofornia. We could be Colorado (with the Colorado river) and Colofornia as Boulder/Denver/and the ski corridor.
Left out the hefty meth and crime problems. Maybe not quite Pueblo level, but does seem to have that notoriety. Now if you mean land in the surrounding area I could see townies not wanting to travel far to get into stealing as much asin town.
