You probably don't live in Colorado. We moved to Colorado Springs (near Monument) 12 years ago. The area used to be small-town, rural in nature. But the city and county "planners" have been on the take from developers for the last 8-9 years. There are now literally thousands of cars on roads that were designed when we had a population of 800. Areas that were wide-open treed expanses are now crowded with houses, with no thought to taxing a limited water supply. No, I can no longer recommend Colorado, except for a visit.

The person is looking for a place to retire.....if he had to commute to work that might be deserving of a different criteria. My daughter moved to Denver last year from lousy ole NJ........she loves it.......everything about it is awe inspiring.....on a bad day you just have to look to the mountains to feel restored. Sorry your experience has been unhappy but the state has many many good things going for it.

That sounds funny coming from a newby. Born in Colorado in 1964, we thought it was getting out of control in the seventies, these days it's a nightmare.
