Broomfield, CO
Its not Colorado, its suburbia anyplace USA -
2/7/2014Broomfield has all the advantages of Colorado (or around Denver), things like good weather and overall a decent economy, growing demographics, good schools, and views of the Mountains. A lot of good here. But I am not sure it can characterize it as a colorado city -- it is so suburbia complete with minimal trees, a lot of decent sized homes crowded together on small lots, and a very continuous stream of big box retail and strip retail. drive wise -- full of big streets and large intersections. besides seeing the mountains on a regular basis, if no one told you where you were at, you could swear you were were outside any city USA -- the suburbs of Columbus Ohio, Lincoln NE, or Oklahoma City -- its just that plain. no personality, But as said -- lots of advantages in weather, growing population, etc -- just not colorado. I bet broomfield adds another 20K people over the next 10 years -- good for them but they are ruining the real Colorado, that other cities are known for.
So residential zone away Broomfield -- build all the tracts of land you can -- and drive down the quality of life of all of us that live here.
