Review of Denver, Colorado


Colorado Is Awesome. Denver Is Not.
Star Rating - 3/8/2015
I loved this place in the 80's when I was much younger. Today's Denver sucks in my opinion. And I want to give whatever credit may be due its population, but it just doesn't work for me any more. And the problem with Denver seems to be a very complicated one - one that may take years, even decades, to solve. My advice to anyone considering a move to Colorado is to avoid Denver at all costs - unless you have a ton of money that allows you to live above the rif-raf and nightmare that is metro-Denver. I do my best not to have racist affectations. The population of Denver is 40% Hispanic today. And it shows. It is impossible to escape the Hispanic and Mexican cultures in the city of Denver. They are the predominant races in the area. If I want to be that entrenched in the Hispanic culture I will travel to Mexico or Spain. Please don't go to Denver seeking enlightenment because the majority of the population is operating at very low energy levels. This place is BLEAK. It's a very old, run-down place and culture that seems to be teetering on the brink of spiritual bankruptcy. Maybe one day again Denver will soar. For now I would recommend living in any city or town 60 minutes or more from there in any direction - unless you're a Mexican or a Nazi. Colorado as a whole is a wonderful place, but Denver has definitely seen better days.

Thanks for the information, and welcome to the new, urban America. I can't imagine Atlanta is much better, but, then, I haven't visited ATL in a few years.

Hi Mate What you said about Denver resonates. I don't think you sound racist in any way. I see in our country Canada, the same issue affecting places like Vancouver or even Toronto. Qualified law abiding people ( no matter their race / colour)are welcome , but I am hating how both of these cities in last 30 years have been either overrun by $$$ wielding Chinese ( who exploit this place) or just the rif-raff from the Third world ( escaping poverty/ war strife etc) and you see it. This creates racial and social tensions and benefits people like Donald Trump and people / politicians with real xenophobic agendas etc. After having read your post, I will avoid Denver, and move to a place where no single ethnic group is too dominant.
