Yes, the outsiders moved into Custer County which is just south of Canon City, and they literally took over. Bought up everything they could lay hands on, and got on the county commission then ran taxes out through the roof and broke those who were left. Now the entire county is owned by Texas and California liberal money. Many old people got evicted from their homes because they had no way to pay the taxes. Check out Custer County, its on the web.
The rancher I talked to was from around the Paonia area. Must be going on across the whole State.
