Denver. Anyone who is looking to move to Denver needs to fly out first and
make their own impressions. Some of the posts are very valid and some are
simply wrong.
Denver pros
1. very nice people 2. Denver is a HUGE sports town and people in Denver
love the Broncos almost as much breathing 3. Coors Field is gorgeous
4.Denver has tons of parks 5. fantastic weather..never very humid and
winter storms tend to blow over quickly for the most part 6. excellent
stores and malls 7. Denver is not Chicago or NYC as far as rests but it still
has a number of good rests 8. Denver is a pretty city 9. The suburban schools
are almost all excellent 10. Denver has a nice cultural scene 11. Denver
is an easy city to get around 12. Denver has a good job market 13. Denver suburbs are nice places to raise a family 14. many of the people keep fit and believe in living a healthy lifestyle. 15. many excellent colleges 16. very
educated city 17. despite all the jokes about DIA, Denver boasts one of the
nicest and busiest airports in the US.
Cons
1. Denver has a serious air pollution problem 2. Many people in Denver love
to tailgate other drivers 3. Denver has a serious homeless problem but this
is not unique to many metro areas 4. home prices and rental prices are
overpriced 5. taxes are high in Colorado, know that before you leave where
you are living 6. Denver has a very crime rate in the non suburban areas
7. like many metro areas, Denver is battling a gang problem. 8. insurance
rates are often very high for many people 9. Denver Public School system is
a complete and total mess for the most part, the Denver suburban schools are vastly superior in terms of quality 10. if you don't like yuppies
than Denver is not the town for you 11. many people who have lived their whole lives in Denver can put some people off with the attitude that Denver is the greatest place on earth, but for the most part as mentioned above most
Coloradoans tend to be very nice. 12. many skilled and very educated people
are underemployed because job competition in Denver is fierce 13. if you are
not a Broncos fan you might find many of the Broncos fans to be obnoxious, but that is true of hometown loyalties in most NFL cities. 14.people whom
rent aren't as well protected( rights wise) as they would be in other Metro areas.
