Review of Denver, Colorado


Not bad but getting bad
Star Rating - 9/25/2020
It is a wonderful place. Good weather all but a few months, lots to do and see, good nightlife, thriving downtown. The biggest problem is that Denver has been "discovered" and people are coming in droves which is making Denver a not so wonderful place.

Oh, it's bad. Violent and property crime is 133% of the national average. The P/E for a home is 6.05x median income and 6x average income for a household. Price inflation is rampant, pay growth is stuck, and minimum wage just had to go to $15.57 just so people could almost afford to pay rent. I used to love my hometown and have been here since 1997 when I was in elementary school. It went into steep declinein 2014.

I'm wondering how on earth anyone can call the weather in Denver "good". It normally snows (sometimes heavy) in May or later. It's very early Jan now, and next week the low will be 11 degrees.
