Review of Colorado Springs, Colorado


Can't Wait to Leave
Star Rating - 2/24/2013
I moved here from Denver in 2008 because my new husband was stationed here, and I can't WAIT for him to retire so we can move!! This city has so many problems, I can't begin to list them all: weather that is inhospitable 85% of the year; no snow plows; workers in all industries that are lazy, slow, expensive, and don't give two hoots about the quality of their workmanship; traffic cops every 10 feet with a speed gun but no cops if you need one at your house; drivers that move as slow as possible because they don't have anywhere to go that they care about (plus the cops might ticket them for going 3 mph over the limit!); roads throughout the city designed to slow people down and keep them from getting anywhere quickly; mediocrity at every turn from hotels to restaurants; antiquated traffic light technology - I could go on and on and in fact, have thought about writing a book about the poor quality of workmanship we have received with 98% of our business transactions. It is a fairly large city that wants to operate like a small town and it doesn't work. Either that or city officials want people to leave here as quickly as they came. If you have a choice, move somewhere else unless you like the truly "laid back" and lazy.
