Review of Denver, Colorado


What a joke
Star Rating - 5/23/2020
Truly the most overrated city of all time. At first it was a decent place to live, solid economy with plenty of jobs, and legal weed was fun for a bit, but whats the point when you rarely have disposable income?

And for what? The streets are dirty and full of the Laziest F*cks you will ever meet, constantly asking for your cigs, money, and even your FOOD! Even lots of people with homes here are bums who ask for free stuff all day. And speaking of food, food scene is pretty much non existent here. A handful of decent spots (Ba Le Sandwiches, Torta Grill, and Grandpa's Burgers are my favorites), but mostly overpriced and bland. Just go to King Soopers or Safeway. Denver Health is also the WORST healthcare ever, better off just going to Walgreens and toughing out whatever problem, because these people are evil and don't care about human life. RTD is also the worst public transit, the guards treat everyone like sh*t and act like the 4th Reich.

And there are so many douchebags here, with superiority complexes for no reason other than being from here. Or fake opportunists who will act friendly if you have something they want. And so many tweakers. Very few decent people, easily the fakest place I've ever been. WTF? This isn't even a real city. Maybe if you're from some southern or midwestern sh*tshow, you'll be impressed, but everyone else just avoid. All the neighborhoods are the same, no variation, even the "Art" Districts like RIno. AIn't no art or music scene here. And the most random weather ruining many good days. EIther too hot or too cold, or both in the same day.

Just go get a Medical Card in Phoenix, or a Weed dealer in Dallas or Austin, and you got the same experience with more disposable income and better people. Or if you want a Green City with nice views, strong economy, and very progressive, don't kid yourself, you want Seattle. Go there.

I was in Prescott Valley for work. That place is a nightmare. Denver is far from perfect, definitely being populated by less interesting people, housing is too expensive, it was better decades ago but it’s still light years better than anyplace in that dump AZ especially Prescott Valley.

Seattle was super cool, in the 80s and 90s. Arizona seriously?! The only people I know moving from Denver to Arizona are retirees. Meanwhile the entire state of Texas is moving to Colorado.
