I lived in the Metro area my whole life. Actually have family that goes back to the 1800s when Denver was a ore processing and then a cow town. I did live in Colo Spgs for a few years (still in Colorado and a nice conservative city at the time). I grew up in the Washington Park area.
All of the influx of people from the east and west coasts has changed the politics dramatically. Homes in the Washington Park area are going for $1 million plus and the middle class is being forced out.
Downtown Denver has been gentrified with tens of thousands of liberals who are happy paying a fortune for a 500 square foot apartment in a high rise building. It is like a mini-New York city. That whole area was run down with homeless and empty building just 20 years ago. Now it is very expensive high-rise condos stacked like blocks. I wonder what the population is in Downtown Denver. It has to be significant.
We are concerned that the open and free use of pot and now mushrooms has been a draw for the less desirable element. So the city is now overrun with liberal drug users and, because of the population concentration, will dominate all politics statewide. I predict that the state of Colorado will become like Illinois and New York state with high taxes and massive debt and with a massive drugged out homeless population living on the streets — because that is what liberals do.
Truly sad to see our once great state become a sh!thole.
If I remember correctly, it was the Bank of Boulder that gave you a Weatherby. Sad to see a great state such as Colorado being taken over by the progressive locusts that destroy everything in their path.
