Review of Boulder, Colorado


Boulder
Star Rating - 3/12/2008
Boulder has many obvious pluses but also a number of negatives.
Pros: 1. Boulder is one of the prettiest cities in the U.S 2.very informed
and educated community 3. excellent school system 4. very low crime rate
5. great outdoor options in your backyard. 6. # of good rests and shops

Cons: 1. A number of people embrace the Gordon Gecco from the film Wall Street mentality that greed is good. 2. Many of the people are all about themselves in Boulder and also want you to share their values and beliefs. 3. Many people in Boulder simply aren't as tolerant as they would like you to believe they are 4. awful traffic 5. zero diversity, Boulder is for the most part lily white 5. the town has many old hippies many whom have given up
what they believe in long ago 6. if you don't make good money don't consider moving to Boulder it is VERY expensive. 7. CU also attracts a HIGH # of kids from Malibu, Bev Hills and other higher rent places, these kids often bring with them a sense of entitlement.

Boulder like any towns has its pluses and negatives. Is it an awful town? NO.
Is it as great as advertised? NO. While Boulder is beautiful many of the people are the biggest negative about Boulder.
