- Should you move to Denver? This is a question that a lot of people are asking themselves right now as Denver has become a hot spot for families and young professionals alike. After living in Colorado for 22 years, I have decided to make a video discussing the pros and cons of living in Colorado. I hope this video helps others decided if moving to Denver is the best option for them

I'm a native , please feel free to come love our state idk why people are so salty
Dylan Raskay ikr
Bro they're ruining everything. It's easy to see if you live in Denver, but if you live in a surrounding city that is less popular I understand.
Keshaire!!! I live in lodo
Bullshit. Me too!
Please take me I hate dc
Lol I love how you say "and it's dry here" in a bad way. Everyone KILLS to live in the dry climates as possible. That's why California is such a popular place to live, cause there's no humidity while in literally every other place has double the humidity. Humidity makes you feel like you literally can't breath and it's the worst feeling ever. While in dry, it's crisp air that makes you feel free, I don't know how to explain it.
Lizzy Hale I actually like to have some humidity. Miami and Hawaii is way to much for me. Colorado is too dry for me though. I hate having dry skin and chapped lips. I also have bad allergies in dry climates. I'm moving to San Diego though, that seems like it should perfect amount of humidity for me. Not too much, not too little. just righttttt. Just like the weather :)
Lizzy Hale People aren't flocking to California??? California is the most expensive and over taxed state in the union lol are you kidding me?? haha maybe in the 60s/70s/and 80s when it was affordable....you're high....Florida is amazing and it's affordable...and has better beaches compared to cali and there's no income tax....win win win
Lizzy Hale glad to hear you're moving there rather than Denver hope others take you're advice :)
Lizzy Hale I can say when I recently went to Colorado my skin was so dry and my lips were so chapped it was horrible btw I live in Texas lol
thats because of the brown/orange crap pollution
Friendly to active lifestyles is really the only thing I'm looking for. The mountain elevation being double or more to east coast is huge, but it's the environment conducive to active lifestyles that draws me. Can't wait to spending 2019 in Colorado
I'm a colorado native and let me tell you the truth. it's a beautiful place and all of those telling you about the traffic? it isn't even that bad hun, try going to LA and see the traffic there. Yes living there can be expensive, but nothing like New York or like i mentioned LA. Who tf cares if you're from another state we welcome anyone. If denver seems to "full" then just go to another city like Colorado Springs. I will always love colorado and welcome anyone to come. So to answer your question, DO move here!!
Thank you
ely ; I laugh at all these people complaining cuz I grew up in NYC, your problems aren’t problems
ely ; Also consider Miami, Florida as one of the most expensive places to live-in. Just to mention, if by any chance someone wants to leave near the beach and be centric around the boulevards, must gotta be willing to pay between $3700 to any where $5000 for one or two bedroom apartments, no joking. Everything is going up and up in prices!
*sniffles* thank you. I’m coming.
The first person from Colorado who doesn’t say “stay out we’re full” your a legend 🙏🏻
Denver is literally perfect. Close to mountains and many outdoor activities while also getting a big city vibe. While it does get cold, Denver is actually quite moderate throughout the winter. They can get snow one day and the next day it'll be 60 and sunny. And they have no humidity! I would love to not have to sweat another day in my life lol
moving to Denver in hopefully under a year....feels so good to have all these people with open arms ready to embrace new outsiders 🤗🤗🤗
Honestly, not all natives are.
Your video are legit. I get your point as a International student being there for two years now, I think major problem for Colorado is weed. Weed is not easy to get away, especially in Downtown or as you ride RTD. I feel dry in summer and winter
VF Corporation is relocating My family and I to Denver. Cant wait, so tired of the bay area prices. We make 125 grand a year between me and the Hubby. Were considered poor in the Bay Area.
Swirlceee Sherry if you don’t mind me asking, how is it? In the Bay Area currently. Make $142K a year and barely making it. Thinking about Denver....
Awesome thanks bro im moving from Philadelphia sick of it moving from east coast I want to live in a peace place God bless u bro hope I see u around
philly is cold and dangerous, similar to nyc but i would say worse
I live in Wilmington Delaware, 30 minutes from philly. Looking for a change myself.
me and my whole family are moving to Denver next year. it's 15 of us. I'm so excited and I can't wait to leave Mississippi
i should let you know that Colorado is not a country,NOT AT ALL,it is apart of the USA,which has Mississippi,meaning... you leave in the same country that Anthony is from,all in all though,if you dont want people in your state or as i ment to say... "country"then... well,MAKE IT INTO A COUNTRY! after all,Colorado has been wanting to become its own country since obama was elected so heres your chance,so that way no one can come in to Colorado anymore,there!happy? :)
Wait.....15?!
Anthony Oliver how do you and your family like living there?
god dammit.
You're fucking stupid bro. "We?" "Y'all" Who the fuck are you? Are you even from Colorado?? Are you the owner of Colorado? Nah, just some low-life. @Jozeph Latino Reyes
If you plan on moving to Colorado, look into the suburbs north of Denver... (Thornton, Brighton, Westminster, etc) great areas 😸
I'm seriously considering for a deputy sheriff position with the Denver Sheriff's Office and moving back to Colorado. I lived in Colorado from 1984 to 2012 and loved the mountains, natural beauty, having seasons, world class cycling, snowboarding, other outdoor sports and cool weather.
Lmao you dont wanna be pigging in Denver right now. Its wayyyyyy different since Amendment 64
summer in Colorado sounds amazing. Here at El Paso TX our summers are on 110 +.
This video was very helpful and glad you were so honest in the video....where are you residing now if you don't mind?
just found this video and found it to be very helpful! how is the industrial workforce? my husband is about to be done with school and we are looking to relocate but he is looking for work in a more "plant/industrial" type work place. we arent sure where to begin our search, we are a young family of 3 and love the outdoors.
Just found your channel. We actually are thinking about living in a different city/state for one year each...in the future. We are enjoying our state of Florida from now. We are originally from Ohio. We hear Denver has a lot of sun. I hope that is true. Ohhh just heard you say how cold it is. It is why we left Ohio to Florida :) Denver is one place we would like to spend a year in :) Maybe for 6 months(not the winter lol)
***** It's funny that you mention hurricanes. Many people think the same. One reason I didn't move sooner to Florida was because I was afraid of hurricanes. We have been here for 6 1/2 years and no hurricanes YET. I hope they keep missing us.. Car accidents are something to worry about down here as well as back in Ohio where we had all that ice. I was nearly killed twice within 3 months of each other in car accidents many years ago. I'm lucky to be alive. There are so many places in the world I'd love to see. The thing I don't like about "vacations" is that you really can't get to know a place very well. I prefer to mingle wtih the locals rather thant "tourist traps". We've been down here all this time and still finding new places to see. I can't imagine all the places to see in Colorado as far as partks, nature and wildlife goes. I don't know where life will take us but it all is VERY interesting :) lol
+Living Free Forever
Birney & Raised in N.E. Florida and lived in Miami for 6+yrs Oddly enough Fl doesn't get hit with many Hurricanes. The ones that do are century makers.
Stationed on N.C. coast in Military for 5yrs experienced was ground zero for 4+ hurricanes.
Florida very affordable but no longer the Friendly South due to all the transplants.
Colorado is unreal beautiful, it does get cold Summers are a joke because it's dry heat no real heat index plus once Sun goes down Temps plummet, only place I've lived where u can keep jacket on hand 365. In comparison Florida never cools at midnight it's still 80-90 degrees it's oppressive.
CHANCE GAUGE RYAN Great points. It is why I like to travel... to be able to experience it all. I really don't like the cold so I don't think I would stay for long periods in colder locations....It does look really beautiful though in Colorado. I only was at the Denver airport once 30 years ago when I went to Las Vegas :) so I really didn't get to see it other than fly over :)
Living Free Forever
I have some injuries incurred while in Military and they do better at higher altitudes and barometric pressure, and strangely do better in cooler climates. N.C. is my 2nd home to Florida, in 2010 picked 5 places to potentially relocate to Colorado, Utah, ID, MN, Montana left Charlotte Oct 2010 for Denver to visit 40 Deg rainy leaving NC, touching down in Denver it was -10 below I was in shorts and hoody, but when I got to shuttle i commented to driver it didn't feel that cold, he said it's because more humid climates feel colder!
I wouldn't let weather worry you guys about Denver, while they get cold and snow it's literally bipolar type weather snow doesn't stay and can be 60 Deg following day. It's where I live in Mountains that gets crazy snow long winters and in total you can get experience at least 5-7 days temps in the insane (-'s) double digits. My first Winter in Mtns I recall on drive to Denver my cars temp gauge showing -3 then while driving -15 (Didn't know temp gauge went that low) a week later -26 & - 32 I posted pics online because I was show shocked.
You guys living in Florida are used to the transplants and mix of cultures and people, outside of Denver proper you won't find much diversity. As poster stated cost of living is offensive, I left Ft Lauderdale had 1200sf apt 2/2 real nice 2nd nicest place I lived paid $1100, in process of relocating to front Range down around Denver and a 600-700sf apt 30min from Denver is $1300-$1500, with no real amenities. The 1st apt I moved into smack dab in middle of Denver like a block away fro Baseball stadium in 2011 was $950, same place now is $2k, there's no justification in that. Hell my family attorneys refuse to allow me to purchase property in the State because they view the market as volatile, local Real Estate Execs and State Officials are saying it's going to even out, but those outside of Colorado are hedging it's going to likely cause people to flee State and subsequently cause entire market to dip greatly.
Saw 2wks ago Colorado has some of the worst air quality in US , took me back that is until I read mostly caused by Ozone pollution, but there is a marked increase in pollutants from the States rapid growth.
I'd say if you guys want to move here as you stated for short duration move to a Mountain town, because your moving here it mostly sounds like to experience the State and you'll have better opportunity to experience Colorado in the actual Rockies, ski, hike, Mtn biking.
Military is sending back to College to re-earn Nursing licenses that were lost after my injuries so I am able to live off of my Pension and College stipend and enjoy the State, I've gotta move down to Denver area to finish up schooling, but after seeing the cost of living I'm having to now think about relocating out the State to finish, it's that bad! 3yrs ago it was 2nd to San Francisco in annual increase, last year it actually was #1.
All that being said by far positives out weigh negatives, people are awesome and it's great
First of all, thank you for serving. My dad was a WW2 & Korean vet. He was at Normandy. I'm so sorry you were injured. It's funny how some people feel better in cooler weather and for me prefer the humid. We most likely will keep this home since we bouht it at the bottom. We would want to live literally downtown whatever city we choose so I can walk around to stores/restaraunts on a daily basis. We can drive out to parks and what not. We are originally from Ohio. I lived in the suburbs, near the city of Cleveland and out in the country for 10 years. I'm used to all types of people. I like experiencing different types of people and cultures. Thank you so much for the information. If I go anywhere it will only be for maybe 3 months at a time so if I don't like it it's not the end of the world. :) We won't be going anywhere for a while since our daughter is in college here for one more year at this local college. I'm happy you are going back to nursing. I have a couple of familly members in nursing. :) Thank you again. I apprecaite your time.
I live in Norway and I'm really thinking about moving to Denver. Nor because of the weed... But because I feel it's the best city to be in if one was to move to the US. I find it hard to be in Norway because of the people and culture here and that people might me more open and easier to be friends with over the pond, maybe?
Just wondering about Colorado locals who complain about transplants and too many people moving in; so being a liberal open-minded state, how do you feel about immigration?
People crying about Denver being overpopulated. It doesn't even have 700,000 people. Go to a real big city like Houston or LA, then come back to Denver and rethink your position.
Where are the other videos on the other places?
Im genuinely considering moving to denver because living in the SF bay area is way too expensive. Those of you who live in the Denver area who don't want people moving in cuz its raising the cost of living....I understand where you're coming from. I love the bay area and would love to stay here but I can't afford to rent anything. Don't get me started on the housing market :(
Thanks for the info Ethan! My fiancé and I are relocating to Denver from New York City and are pretty excited. For us the cost of living is a major perk because NYC is SO expensive. I've lived in the East my whole life so it's a little bit scary for me but you have a lot of great advice! Thanks!
+Ethan Simonton thanks so much, Ethan! Yes, that is a good way to look at it. Haha NYC is a bit intimidating at first but you get in the flow of things. I've lived here for about 7 years and I'm originally from rural Vermont, so I think Denver would be similar. The cold is not a problem ;) advice in NYC is just to pretend like you aren't shocked by anything...because you will be.
Im from NYC area all my life as well. have been thinking about a move to colorado . I am alone.. not sure how It will be,,,. really looking for fresh air if honest.
My sister just relocated to Long Island from San Diego for school. I feel so bad for her. 😂
Jenny Coombs please don't move here we Denver rights like our peace and you New Yorkers don't know how to be piceful
Glad you are here
I want to move to Colorado because of the weather and geography. I didn't know people actually moved because of the legalization of pot...
No dont move here, it sucks, gets very cold in the winter, no jobs and the native will despise you
Its not that cold but I would rather live in KC than Denver
Go to KC follow your dreams!
osamabindrinkin40s God KC sucks. So Damn boring.
DJR5280 KC is awesome. What are you talking about? Great BBQ, awesome restaurants, Bars, Worlds of Fun/Oceans of fun, Chiefs, Royals, great sports town, soccer, concerts, casinos, and its not too far from the speed way motors track.
Jozeph ‘Latino100’ Reyes aye fuck you man
All I got to say is dont move to Alaska the crime is becoming a disaster. You cant own anything nice without it getting stolen. CO looks good to me.
Any suggestions for a nice, and affordable place to rise family and live peaceful .
Thanks
it disturbs me that you are making this video while driving
Yes we can move to Denver
I want to move to Denver so I can live on a downtown sidewalk in a tent.
Why do people relocate? Job Opportunity, Better Atmosphere, more affordable housing?
Whatever your reasons, rest assured that any reason is good enough to leave Miami.
Hi! I'm Tired. Tired who? Oh. I'm tired of this shit! Tired of busting my ass for 50+ hours per week and can barely afford a roll of Charmin.
Tired of going to south beach only to realize I cant afford to pay the parking meter.
Miami is for people with money! Tourist, retirees. Rich and wealthy people. Its not a place to raise kids, or even to work. Trust me. I'm 35 2 kids, I have a degree in electrical engineering. But this city is so overpopulated and so unequally biased it's a shame.
Miami is basically Cuba. And dont get me wrong because I love my latin people. But unless you're fluent in Spanish do not expect to thrive in Miami.
Colorado as opposed to Miami is like night and day in every way. The people are tremendously friendly. The economy is far better than FL. The cost of living is lower and the jobs pay a lot better.
I'm not a nightclub person. I'm an outdoors kind of guy. My Kids absolutely loved Colorado when we visited. The looks on their faces when they saw a mountain for the first time was all I needed to see.
They loved the space, and the atmosphere. So did I. Miami is not what people think. It's a pretty shitty place to live. Nice to visit. But not for life.
Nope I will never move there...to many mountain get dizzy every day
If you are good luck, rent is as high as the people who moved here lmao.
kibalulu is dead classic comment
Not as bad as Cali, NYC or Chicago or Miami though
Not as high as NYC or Southern California which is where I lived so I’m good.
I was into it until he mentioned "Aurora" and "beautiful" in the same sentence. -Denver Native since 1987
Bennie Castellano
Thats exactly what i was thinking 😂. Great views out east my ass.
I worked with a guy who would relocate diffrent refugees in Aurora hr worked for the government, they donate them furniture and set them up in a apartment and pick them up from the airport. that was 8 years ago. Not sure how it works anymore
Aurora north side is crap hole Aurora Southside is gorgeous and South East Aurora is very wealthy
Hey Ethan I have few questions to ask about living in Colorado.
Well although people would be ok with others moving it has become a mess now. People moving for drugs being legal, although it is more than a pace can handle. Although many say it is a free country yeah it is. But that would be like saying that 30 people would move into a 3 bedroom house insanity
im moving back to Denver soon
What do you think about the area in Downtown that is next to the Metro? To rent. Thanks :)
***** That is good to know. I always loved the sounds of trains as a kid...helps me sleep...just like lawnmowers or planes....call me weird lol :) As long as I can walk everywhere and not drive I'm good. I hate driving....that is why if we live there I want to walk across the street and jump on the train or tax or bus or just walk the city as long as it's safe :) It would be something different for us to live in a downtown district. That is what we are looking for...something different one day :) I might have to keep our house here. I DO love it here in Florida :)
+Ethan Simonton dude...you dont know shit about Colorado
your gonna wanna be rich.
Hugo Bopp The sound of cars, trains and planes don't bother me...actually helps me sleep better but I don't want to listen to loud people on the street. Is this place near bars/nightclubs or something? I saw more affordable, smaller units with good reviews. I think one just needs to look around :)
Oh yeah.. LODO... great place to live.. if you don't mind a history of racial violence. AKA - If you're not black you might have the shit beat outta you. Don't walk around at night. But.... maybe all that gentrification will help you out with not being put in the hospital.
wow, you guys in the comments need to grow up lmao
im thinking new york or colorado , but i cant chose
New York. We don't need anyone else in colorado
I live in Denver and welcome anyone to move here but if you're talking about the choice between here and NYC, NYC wins hands down
New york is extremely fast paced and all about the hustle. You’ll be shelling out at 1800$ for a 1bedroom apt and be working multiple jobs. While there are lots and lots of things to do, it can exhaust you. Ny can certainly make you miserable after some time.
I love it! But I would ask, What is the job market like? What is the minimum wage?
Minimum wage is $8.50. However, most entry-level jobs start around $12.
Min wage is 10.50 and will increase to 14 by 2020
I already live here so
speaking of liberal / hippies..how is that atmosphere to raise a family in? would u consider that to be a negative or a positive?
Im looking for a new place already lived in cali and it sucks high cost for homes and people flip you off for no reason, i lived in phoenix, az and to much people full traffic is shit and a shit ton of criminals, now live in yuma and hate this place no jobs and freaking small and hate leaving next to the fucken border!!!! Might look into colorado or utah.
This guy "They are really open"
The chat "DON'T COME TO MY STATE"
Oh ya, if you haven't already, put the video to 2x speed.
rofl people in denver think they got it bad. try south florida. its hell down here, in every aspect.
literally hate it here in FL
I live in Miami and its unlivable....I look at Denver and its amazing compared to the economy in Florida.......
same, thats why i wanna move to denver
lol i live in Melbourne and i agree its ass and ive
lived in 5 different states
People don't know how good they have it, the economy and most other things in FL suck compared to most states. I'd move to Colorado quick lol
Everyone acting so entitled haha. The state doesn't belong to anyone, people are free to do as they please. I've wanted to move to Colorado ever since I was little, and now I have the opportunity, so I'm taking it. Suck it up and deal with it hahaha
exactly lmao like all these people own the fucking state!
+Getaway Driver the prices of living has been almost identical for me from living in PA based on my income in proportion to taxes. Colorado is a hell of a lot more beautiful than PA as well😂 Sitting on a bus for an hour to go about a mile wasn't very pleasant either. It's just the lifestyle I've been apart of. I spent most of my life in Europe and Colorado reminds me of Europe in the scenery and the lifestyle.
whos acting like they own it? come on in and join the rest of the scum and breath Denvers shit brown air, go kayak in the Platte downtown and be careful of whats in that "water", hope you make tons of money because youll need it to live here. watch your back, Try not to get your ass beat on 16th street mall. have fun driving up to our beautiful mountains on Fridays, make sure you love heavily backed up traffic and wrecks. this guy says schools and everything are safe lol, do some more research. these people doing these move to Colorado, are are blowing smoke up your you know what, They get paid. so mok$ha, suck up the pollution, dope and meth, welcome to the Mile high city.
MokSha. Colorado is a wonderful state -- just don't more to Denver. It's not safe, and the mayor gives preference to illegals.
Jason's Frontier Thats not how Denver/Colorado is
When I first moved to Colorado Springs I stayed at the Briarglen Apts at Chapel Hills Drive, payed $600 a month for a 2bed/1 bath apt. Now it's 1,075 a month! BAM!
CycleCruza I mean I pay almost 900 for a studio all the way here in Delaware, not including utilities. And parking
WOW 600 A MONTH THAT WAS THE GOOD OLD DAYS 😀🤲
You know it really sucks what is happening to Colorado right now. I live in Arizona and we went through what you guys did, except it wasn't as bad. But we get what you guys are feeling with the whole overpopulated and the over priced problem. See if you were a Mexican or Californian or from somewhere out of state, we would freaking DESPISE you here in Arizona. Well now its okay but everything got so expensive and went down to shit. My brother lives in Colorado and he has been living there for 7 years and back then he said it was so beautiful and amazing and everyone was so nice. Until Weed was legal and people overpopulated it and destroyed the scenery and the green nature of Colorado. It's actually really sad, I can't visit my brother as much anymore because some people just want to live there because it's so nice. Well it ain't gonna be nice if people keep destroying it. I really hope by some miracle your state will end up fine and not end up shitty like how my state became. The only thing I really wish is to just be able to visit my brother again.
Rupert Floyd what kind of a name is Rupert lol sorry I’m totally off topic but damn 😂
Im from Scotland, UK and currently live and work in China. Always fancied Colorado as a future place to Live and start a family as it looks beautiful and only heard good things but after reading all the comments from all the natives Im thinking twice. They dont seem to friendly or welcoming. Unbelievable. Not just 1 or 2 comments from negative people, It seems to be the majority of the natives who seem very angry and unwelcoming. Thanks for the video and opening my eyes!
Ian Howie forget them I'M Montana and Colorado plates are every where we too don't like all the out of state'rs all costs are raising and lots of drugs and users...
The bad thing is that the whole planet hate men lol
No don't more here you'll regret it!!!! Seriously!
As a fellow English person looking to move here, I’d say that there’s a lot more patriotism in the USA and people are going to defend their state if they feel it’s been unfairly judged by someone whose been there for a month
joyinjesus why?
Aside from some of the comments left by racist and arrogant People in your video.. i like your video and insight. It's a bit crowded and expensive but I still love Denver. 👍
I'm from Argentina,now living in Salt lake,Utah.Always wanted to move to Colorodo,because it looks like nice with many interesting stuff,but now reading comments people fron Colorado don't look like nice people:(now i don't feel like moving to Colorado
matthew reid nothing is stopping me from moving to springs in couple years I want to be more outdoor active & Colorado is so beautiful I'm moving for all the right reasons: 1. Outdoor beauty & activities 2. Weather #winterbaby 3. Good hospitals
Don’t let people on a RUclips videos dictate your life. Hellllll no.
RUclips comments are literally the devil's armpit
For real
Your interactions with Internet culture and Colorado culture is probably going to vary by a lot. You'd probably be better off visiting for a couple weeks.
My husband and I are looking at moving to Denver. We currently live in Fort Worth, TX; though, I'm originally from the DC area and he's from Durango, CO. One of the things we like about Denver is that the people are open-minded, much like what I grew up with in DC. Totally understand the people saying out-of-staters are ruining Denver in that it was the same in DC--housing prices hiked and rent was way expensive. That said, the out-of-staters moving in also strengthen the economy and as much as tourists were frustrated, it was a huge economy boost for us. Your video is definitely helpful, so thanks!
Denver? Good luck! Seriously.
You have said all the wrong things! Being from the hell hole you are driving threw! I came to Denver in 2013! Then it was nice welcoming. I can understand why people are mad being here before the boom. But its to the point people are so rude. I have a few that friend's are awesome here. But you will always be looked at like the non local person or strange. We from a hell hole and to be able to move to a big city for us was huge we traveled for a year before we picked here. It was a awesome thing being we travel a lot its just cheaper and we hated were we are from no one wants to travel to Alabama let alone move there. So as the nonlocal local No get the fuck out we have no room! We already bought our house. Like its hard for even friends to visit cause of this no one wants to pay $1000+ to say in a hotel for a week.
well done a good balance and good points. I am from southern Rhode Island and been in Denver since 79. I love it but all of the great things have changed it is a hugely liberal area many Millennials and a lot of attitude. This Colorado cool thing always and today people sit in the left lane on purpose so you can't get by it's just too much for me. Rodger up people would notice you and get out of the way if they weren't out of the way already. I'm planning to leave I don't want anything to do with marijuana tired of the high prices and this city is like a fabricated make pretend life.. everything costs money to do. too many rules too many video cameras too many square miles of concrete. I love the sunshine and the ability to make money doing just about anything which is good for people in these little towns in Michigan and South Dakota who have nothing to rely on. but I'm looking for a place to go. think I want to get back near the ocean the mountains never really did it for me anyway. Thank you for your continued support
I've lived in Florida for 22 years and went to Denver for a week in mid July and it was so damn cool there compared to what I'm used to down here.
Are all Floridians geniuses like you?
Love how he thinks that 90 degrees is hot. It can get to 110 degrees in Phoenix in the summer. 90 degree days here are a blessing.
ikr lmfao
As a 4G native, I can say we understand we can't stop the influx. It helps if you drive wisely in the snow. Don't move here, get an SUV, and assume you're invincible. Likewise, don't let the snow scare you down to a crawl either. Don't trash our parks. Don't trash our teams. Don't do dumb things while skiing/snowboarding. Don't scrape our cute old homes and replace every square foot of the lot with an ugly modern, stucco "home" that resembles a dentists office building. (I'm talking to you, Californians.) Our license plate stickers go on the bottom corners. (Again, talking to you Californians.) Respect the Casa Bonita. Respect Blucifer. Blucifer was here before you. And lastly, it is ColoradANS. Not Coloradoans.
Rent in Denver is doubling and the city is considering rent controls. Move here but bring a lot of cash as there will be vacancies due to residents being priced out since wages ares are always low as well.
Sun shining does not do shit for you when temperature is 20. Plus half of the state is high desert, plains with high winds most of the year then hot in summer until afternoon then cloudy and buckets of rain.
I love outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking and snowboarding! I'd probably love it there, here in NJ is pretty boring unless you go up towards the Appalachian mountains. I hate city life like shopping and all that BS so I'd probably like the suburb area. Tech jobs seem to be booming over there which is good for me cause I'm into IT and web development
JAYZUPP this
No... stop moving here. Seriously... this state has become almost unbearable to live in now. If I found a magic lamp one of my wishes would be to instantly make anyone who moved here in the last 5 years vanish back to wherever it was the came from... permanently.
heya carty! how ya doin'?
Denver is plain, not much to do
The perfect ski day in Colorado: get up at 4 am, pack your stuff the night before because you’re going to want to be to I70 before 530 am. Any later and it will be stop and go. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to get to most ski destinations. Plop down $125 for your lift ticket. Leave the Mountain no later than 2pm. It will take you 2 hours to get back to Denver. If you stay until the Mountain closes plan on a 5 hour drive do to stop and go traffic, or stay until 7 then head down. Camping: same as skiing just make sure to make reservations for your campground about 6 months in advance. All other activities, crowded crowded crowded. If you would like to move here you can get a nice two bedroom condo for $325,000. Enjoy.
justhays whatt? 125$ for a day using the lift ?
Colorado especially Denver is overrun and the natives can't keep up
Wait, what?! A 2 bedroom condo for only 325K? Wow.... I haven’t seen prices like that in Colorado for years! Maybe in Pueblo, or somewhere else no one wants to live. You are spot-on with the rest, though! To access popular hiking trails, plan to be at the trailhead before 6AM, or the parking lot will be full!
I want to move back to Colorado because its so beautiful there 😫 sucks a lot of people are moving there for the weed and ruining it
tee hee!!
moving to denver or colorado springs from ohio by the end of the year, bless you with some midwest presence
You can't be thinking Denver is a marijuana city just cause that's what the news says. You actually have to be there to make valid opinion on it. Mine is that it's safe and you wont get harmed. Aslo that its probably one of the best States.
Stop moving to colorado... Too many people... Messing shit up
I live in georgia and never been hunting. Most georgians have run over more deer than your average hunter we have so many deer. I understand why they hunt but don't eat deer and dont like killing shit so thats out. Would love to live in colorado to get away from the heat but still have nic sunny days.
I'm from New Orleans, and I hate it here. Disgusting year round. Yesterday it was 30 degrees, today it's almost 70, and the humidity is terrible. There's no views down here except the city, so I'll take Denver, thanks.
YES!! you should move to Denver!! it is HOT and TRENDY!!!! and I know you can afford the HIGH RENT! the HORRIBLE TRAFFIC! lack of jobs! they have good food! Beer, marijuana! YES YES YES!! move to Denver!
Are you a fucking pot head
*I wonder what's changed in four whole years*
I’m currently living in NYC for my career and have been documenting it. My boyfriend and I went to Denver for a wedding and absolutely fell in love. It’s so much less expensive than the city/east coast and the people are SO nice. It was ridiculously refreshing... and to be in the outdoors.
I feel really bad about the huge influx of people moving to Colorado, because I've wanted to move there since I was a kid. It's so beautiful and seemed like a quiet, nice place. So my plan of moving there because it's quiet with not too many people seems like it's tanking... I've talked to a lot of natives and I feel like I just fit in with them and with the culture. If all the people are moving there for the weed, then that's a shame :( I hope other states legalize it so they can all move elsewhere lol Nice video, Ethan! Lots of great info!
not dc
You can not buy pot recreationally in dc
Go to dc and try and buy pot. post a video
I said you can't buy pot recreationally in DC. You just proved my point.
Amanda M i lived there as a kid now that i'm there it's filled with shit heads who smoke weed all day
my uncle used to live in litteton! i used to go there as a kid and loved it, he lived like a mile from columbine i think
18:51 that's not a con, that's a pro. That's part of why I'm considering the state as a whole.
agreed. seems like this guy wants to live in a crime-ridden democrat cesspit
@@openbob6656 True. I was born and raised in Miami and now I'm in Los Angeles. I can tell you from experience that diversity is definitely not a pro.
The rioting just being the latest example of that.
DENVER SUCKS, I LIVED THERE 13 YEARS, HIGH CRIME, BAD WEATHER = LOTS OF SNOW 7-8 MONTHS OF THE YEAR, VERY WINDY, SUMMER TEMPS IN THE NINETIES & EVEN HUNDREDS, LOTS OF HAIL & LIGHTNING LEADING THE NATION IN BOTH, WINTER TEMPS DOWN TO -25 OR -30, BAD TRAFFIC = SO BAD IT'S HARD TO GET TO THE MOUNTAIN AREAS TO THE WEST, TERRIBLE DRIVERS, HIGH HOUSING COSTS WITH BOOMING POPULATION GROWTH, IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE DENVER/FT COLLINS & COLO SPGS WILL BECOME ONE HUGE METRO AREA.
Colorado Springs is way better......less traffic, no Liberal kooks, fewer BLM dummies, much closer to the mountains, less expensive housing and everything else, but please move to Denver and Boulder....we are full up. 👍
If you are thinking Colorado, I have great news ! Take it off your list. We are passionate about more than sports. Our nature setting has brought us from crazy city....oh Denver, good luck, lost cause... Haha. Native here born and raised ... Mountains to plains... Leave. People ruined my experience by disrespecting the local rules . How to drive. How to camp. How to be safe. Respect nature. No, no one coming here has respect. Nature and solitude is what drives Colorado. Not policies ... Not people... Not trafic... Not trash...and not people who want to change nature for city life. Do not take away the Colorado bueauty because you can't afford to be a California person.
I disagree with the statement that the public transportation system is good... RTD stands for "reason to drive" or "rough tough and dangerous". Its terrible. took the lightrail a few times, wish I wouldve driven..
Hell no
Most over rated city I’ve been to
Alot of druggies, bums who expect ta be given shit when all they needta do is go down Colfax ta temp agencies etcetera( denver has a low unemployment rate), alot of examples made by criminal element. Denver such a great place ta live. When was it he stepped outside if at all?
For all these people moving here: We Coloradoans will smile and be nice, but we loathe you and pray for your departure to be as soon as possible. That being said, I hope you have a nice vacation here on your way to somewhere else.
hahahaha
Traffic sucks here so don't move here to Colorado plz do the natives a favor... Fuckin traffic starts at fuckin noon
This a biased opinion. Cause I've lived in Tucson Arizona for 20 years (my whole life) and I want to move somewhere where it's cold part of the year cause I don't like the heat at all. And in the video he's saying he's happy he's not going to be living there anymore because he's been living there for 22 years and he doesn't like the coldness. ITS BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIVED THERE YOUR WHOLE LIFE. Of coarse that would be the case.
I'm a Tucson native and I totally agree. I hate that we only really have 2 seasons, hot and really freaking hot. We have like no winters here IMO. The actual winter sucks because all the snowbirds come to town and we only have surface streets so getting anywhere is a pain. Also all our malls really suck here compared to places like Denver. The new outlets off twin peaks are nice but who wants to go there when it's 110 degrees out?!
I love hiking, kayaking, camping and anything outdoors
I live in Florida and I am getting sick of the heat and the fact that we have no mountains.
We have 4 seasons in the state of Florida. We have calm hot, extra hot, BURNING FLAMES and our 2-week winter where the temperature will drop anywhere from 60 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
I feel you man. I am so done with the hot humidity. I have money saved and I'm ready to go! I am considering Oregon and WA as well. The mountains of Western NC would be perfect, but legal cannabis is important to me...good luck getting out of FL! :)
You're going to be traveling at least an hour to do any outdoor activities. Denver and all of Colorado is overpopulated for its size, don't move here.
Why do you struggle to hold up any given number of fingers? lol
Stacey Johnson hmm I have crooked fingers? and atleast one finger that I broke that my parents never took me to the doctor to get fixed. haha
well that is a very good reason haha, good video!
Thanks for this video incredibly helpful Cost of living is low for an East Coast gal looking for friendly, chill, outdoor folks. Change is worth it!
As a Denver Native, I'm ecstatic that my city is on the map the way it is. Come enjoy my beautiful state.
South/Southwest metro is the best. Clean, good schools and low crime.
You remind me of Ders off of workaholics lol but that’s for the vid.
Thanks*
How much money should I make to move to Colorado with my girlfriend??
I can't believe this guy is looking at notes and looking at a camera while driving his car.
the job market in Denver is completely saturated. traffic is out of control. the city has outgrown what its infrasturucture can handle. homeless everywhere. Stay out if you can.
so there's a lot of bums on the street or? and is it really crowded?
yes transients everywhere - the pot laws draw drug users pan handlers migrant homeless etc. the traffic has gotten exponentially worse. I was born in Denver and am thinking about bailing its gotten so bad. STAY OUT
T.J. Daly i applied to a couple of colleges there because i wanted to start a whole new life far from my family. do you think it would be wiser if all other states legalized weed? maybe that's why people are flocking there. or is there some other reason?
T.J. Daly thank you. At least your comment was insightful unlike all the other hateful comments with ppl acting like they own the state.
I highly doubt if there is homeless on the streets. what? ... they just freeze to death in the winter. not
Im in denver rn for a visit and lemme tell ya its a big fuckin place
Don't move to CO. Move to CA. Enough trashing Colorado
Laughin livin lol I moved to CA...couldn't be happier :)
have fun in trashy cali:)
hope for the best that sacremento doesnt destroy your home for luxery housing like they did with my family in los angeles :)
Laughin livin California's a liberal hell hole
The world hates mens all men need planet help lol
you sure you are not into Marijuana? lol
After reading these comments, I don't even want to visit Denver.
The amount of transplants in Denver is making me dizzy. I'm seeing just about every frickin' out-of-state license plate now on a daily basis. For example, the other day, I had Texas, Iowa and Georgia all in front of me on 1-25. Some come here with an uppity attitude. I can say this since I'm a native of over 40 years. Denver was better being smaller and friendlier. Not anymore.
Soon you going see New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland licensee plates :)
Im moving from Albania to come and live in Co. :)
Robert Lamb Preach! So much attitude! I miss the old Colorado born and raised since 1989
Why i will move to colorado? Because california costs 2900 for a one bedroom! I laugh at how expensive people are saying it is! $1300 is a cake walk here!!! Nice air, people telling us not to move there...hmm...i think im going to move there!
Melody Morales Nah am being honest..... I'm trying to leave. And the education sucks. Don't even think about it. I don't smoke weed and I'm tired of cars rollin their windows down with a bunch of weed smoke coming out. And people always trying to fight somebody... 😂😂😂 It's too expensive as well, the appt look like shit.... Homes look like shit.... Jobs treat you like shit.....
Raikelle Jake Thing is that you're not being honest.Colorado ranks 3rd in best education in the US
Melody M Denver is so expensive compared to Kansas City. It’s a rip off
Raikelle Jake I have lived in Colorado for 14 years now and your description of Colorado is 100 percent accurate. I am leaving for Vegas in a month and I hope to never, ever set foot in the state of Colorado.
Bobby W well jokes on you lol enjoy
You sound just like Owen Wilson.
