Springs for work 2. many of the people aren't very ambitious and have little career goals 3. awful school system 4. many people stuck in the past who can't let go of their HS glory days 5. limited cultural scene 6. it is a steel town that died as a city long ago

I agree with your assessment of the job market, little ambition and education, secondary schools are terrible, people stuck in the past, not a very family-oriented community. Also gangs and grafitti are running out of control here. Drug and alcohol abuse is a serious problem which leads to domestic violence and other issues. Weather is good, diversity of cultures makes it interesting. Pueblo has a rich and varied history. I am in education and looking elswhere to teach. Behavior issues in the schools are making teaching less and less attractive.

I can't help but laugh when you list low crime as a pro!! Pueblo is the Violent crime capital of Colorado. Don't believ it? Just go look at FBI website or drive across Pueblo and honk at any 20-30 year old male.
