[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pennsylvania is tax friendly, and close enough that you can still enjoy some of the great things about the DC area.

Colorado would be a no go for me. I have a lot of native Coloradans in my family. They said it's becoming hellish with real estate, people (influx of 9k per month), schools, and commutes.  When I went to visit last month the plane was full of potheads (not the occasional recreational user). They talked about it the entire flight. [/quote]

I read an article the other day about how Durango had been overrun with drifter pot heads.  I knew it was an issue in Denver, but I didn't realize it was affecting the smaller towns, as well.  We had our eye on southwestern Colorado, but are now reconsidering....[/quote]

This person is not informed. We live in co/denver (marijuana sales are banned in my county). and this is NOT how life is. Drugs are a problem in our public schools but they are prescription drugs. Show me a school where drugs are NOT a problem? You know you are way more likely to be hit or killed by a drunk driver/person. Durango has always been a shithole. [/quote]

Let me guess -- you are on DCUM because you moved to Denver from D.C.  And you took your pleasant personality with you. The second reason not to move to Denver.  Too many relocated easterners/Californians.

Secondly, it's not fear of crime or concerns about my kids using drugs that put me off. I really just don't want to live in an area that has attracted every pothead drifter in the US. My friends who live in Denver say they have to walk through clouds of pot smoke on their way to work in the morning. Just doesn't sound like a pleasant way to live. For an area that has a large portion of their economy based on tourism, Colorado doesn't seem to have thought through the long term impact of pot legalization very well.[/quote]
