It is hardly surprising that CO has descended into a third world sh@thole after being Californicated. Progressive fiscal and eco zealot policies eventually drag every state down.
Colorado was a 3rd world dump when I moved there 50 years ago. Businesses struggled so badly that many business owners were in foodstamps. Pueblo was an unkept dump and the steelmill was only operational intermitently, and then it closed leaving people without jobs. Most mountain towns were barely villiages and didnt have jobs. Thats why my family and I moved. In the 90’s things began to puck up, communities began to look nicer. But even in the late 70’s the Cali’s were floating in and the democrat changes became more prevailent. If she falls back into the dumphole, it might be a good thing. Maybe prices will drop.
In the meantime, it seems I may end up back there in a few weeks. I like the town and the people in the town, butI hate the state policies,especially those policies of the current state govetnment.
