bump for later
Colorado is still the best:
1. Still somewhat Conservative although it has been overrun by CA libs in the past couple of decades.
2. Low humidity and dry if you like it. No oppressive humidity and nasty bugs. Lots of opportunity for outdoor exercise — biking, hiking, Jeep trailing, etc.
3. Snow is not that bad and I argue that the East Coast and mid-West get more snow. Remember, it is dry. Winters can be long but we do have four full seasons.
4. Many sunny days. On average 300 days of sunshine each year.
5. No. Denver is not in the Mountains. Most of us live on the rolling plains, foothills. Mountains are just 30 minutes from where I live.
6. Not aware of any drug problems. Not sure what they are referring to.
