PP here. We visit CO almost annually and have watched the traffic - and sprawl - and home prices get worse and worse over the years, including in Fort Collins. On the bright side, as retirees we won't need to worry so much about traffic, and real estate prices will have to really go nuts to prevent us from buying almost any place we want with what we'll make from selling our DC area home. |
I'm from Denver and moved away after college. It has changed so much since then and not for the better. The traffic and housing prices are on par with DC. One of the problems is they don't have the infrastructure for the increased population.
Colorado also in a long term drought and there are now constant wildfires. There are currently six active wildfires that have burned over 20,000 acres, and it's not even the dry season yet. And don't forget about the fracking. Fracking is basically everywhere in Colorado now. If you move to Colorado, definitely do your research first on places to live so you don't end up with a fracking site literally in your backyard. https://coloradosun.com/2021/03/31/colliers-hill-erie-colorado-oxy-fracking-conflict/ |
Absolutely yes. |
Colorado is wonderful. People are nice and laid back. The weather is good. I’d move there in a heartbeat |
