Colorado is experiencing negative population growth. You'll never guess where they're moving to and why.

There ain’t no closet involved.

We had a beautiful place we had built in the sangre de Cristo mountain range around 2004. It was a summer place. Beautiful, peaceful . And then they legalized marijuana . That’s when the zillions of people who wanted to get rich quick and get high moved in. They pitched tents along the Rio Grande and basically lived there. Then came box cars, empty container units, you name it. Poop in the 5 galllon pails. Dump it in the river. Squatters. Our reservoir then became polluted. Too scary to go fish there anymore due to the crum bums hanging out. Sold in 2017. Took our money and ran. In 2018 a homeless guy living in his truck started a huge fire, they gave it a name, the spring fire that burned over 108000 acres right near where our house was. It didn’t burned but everyone was evacuated. So very sad.

Go far enough west in Colorado and it’s still great. The Front Range is uncivilized, I never go there now. Areas within 2 hours of the FR are declining too. I’m in a sweet spot where things are still very good, love the area and the people.

Noblefree, are you reading these last few comments?

It’s my opinion as well...

Florida’s still got loonies. However, the conservative leftfugees from other states (like me) are beginning to outnumber them. That, and the wokesters overplayed their hand and alarmed tons of parents down here.

Ya, I got pretty tired of the meme that once dope is legalized the criminal element will be removed.

I used to have to argue, but nobody really challenges that anymore.

I’m guessing that, contrary to what advocates say, pot IS a gateway drug. You can bet that lots of those homeless people tenting in the streets are doing things harder than pot, such ass meth, heroin, etc. But they may have started out with pot.

Check out the realtor saying “freedom” in air quotes.~p> With a little smirk. She probably wears a mask while driving alone in her car.

I’m guessing pot really is a gateway drug, and some of these trash have graduated to meth, heroin, crack, etc.

"You mean throw my wife of 45 years out?"

Not at all. Put her into a reeducation program.

A couple we know is leaving CO this month for TN. He’s a builder and says that the enviro-weenies have made doing business there almost impossible, and definitely too expensive. Before a builder can do the first thing to start a job, it costs $50,000+ just for the environmental paperwork.

The house there sold last week. They’ll be here soon, ready to start with people standing by waiting for homes to be built. Passed his licensing tests here a few weeks ago.

It’s an engineered diaspora to undermine conservative control of the Red states.

Yeah, pot is traumatizing Oklahoma as well. Filthy libertarians stole the election and pushed the corruption. I hate libertarians as much as I hate kalifornians. They are all roots of the same diseased tree.

“Half-handful of FReepers froth about Demon Weed. In other news, dog bites man.”

In other news, man, under influence, bites face off homeless man. And hundreds of thousands of Americans were introduced to a deadly avocation that kills man, child, and police.
