Colorado added an additional congressional district. Indicates a population increase. Roads and highways are constantly being expanded to handle the increase of cars. People are constantly complaining because there are too many people. If people are leaving it is because there is a crowding issue. Elbow room needed. Way far too many people. Maybe the middle of nowhere would be less crowded. Colorado is experiencing population expansion.
100% over the past decade. Massive growth of people coming from California and other states.
Now their crappy leadership is reflecting the migration patterns. They are 1-2 governors away from total political freefall. Right now they are getting somewhat reasonable left of center liberals. Once a true militant leftist slips in, which is inevitable, it will change rapidly and painfully to catch up with CA, WA, OR, NY level of policies.
Even back in the 1970s when I lived there, people complained Colorado was overpopulated. Part of the reason is that there is only a certain amount of serviceable land to build on. You can’t build on all those mountains.
Visited Rifle Colorado and loved it!!
The entire country is experiencing a population expansion. That tends to happen when you allow tens of millions of immigrants (both legal and illegal) into a country.
Anyone who thinks the country is getting better for it, raise your hand.
