Liberal and cultured people?

Yes, Denver's not a bad place. But re the Forbes bit, for instance, have you seen the criteria Forbes uses for it's "best places for singles", for example? # of singles and # of people on match.com, to name a couple. I for one can imagine those could mean a few things, and even the opposite of "great place to be single". As for "educated", "cultured", "liberal", obviously those are relative terms. I suppose that when people get here, they can judge for themselves how "educated", "liberal", or "cultured" people are in Denver metro. But let's be honest with ourselves. Yes, it's not a bad place to live - better than many arguably. An up and coming, rather caucasian, rather male, rather midwestern city (largely because that's what it attracts by and large) that tends to appeal to those wanting to get to the mountains to recreate, or get to the states for a better life than a developing country might offer it might seem (those two demographics not necessarily intermingling much). Probably a wonderful place to bring the family to, too. I would say Denver might want to be more careful of how it grows and sprawls and interacts with people from a broader cross section of humanity than just those couple of somewhat segregated demographics, for example.
