There is so much building going on here, it reminds me of FLorida and what happened there. I have met more people from CA than from anywhere else,and they come b/c of the cost of living being so much lower than there!
On the plus side, there is a lot to do here and it seems as if there are lots of activities. However, in terms of affordable housing, a lot of what I have seen is in areas where there is a high percentage of crime, despite all the reports for low crime. If you check out the diff crime websites, you will see that the crime in Ft Collins is above average for the US, which is somewhat startling, considering how it is being touted as a 'low crime' area.
I have met some friendly people here, but there are many (who I suspect are from out of state) who try to mow you down while driving or crossing the street. I fear that Ft C is changing too quickly and will be more like California in the next few years. My plan is to stay here for a few more years, then move on. I don't think it will be the same in 3 years.
