We left Colorado partly because it turned full-on moonbat liberal. California is one of the few states worse, and it has the highest income tax rate in the country. I don’t care how good the weather is, it doesn’t fix the politics or cost to live there.

It’s not often high here. Super dry lately. Haven’t seen a mosquito in a couple of years.

I’d never let politics dictate where I live or what I watch. Life is too short to let others have that much control. I’ve been to both places and traffic is the only reason I’d avoid either one

I don’t let it dictate what I watch (which is almost no TV anyway) but it definitely is part of the decision where to live. Politics has a huge impact on cost of living and other factors that are important.

And yeah, traffic in and around Denver is insane now - as is homelessness and the problems that come with it.

Those seem a little high for a van beside the L.A. river.

Traffic I was referencing was LA and FLA

Only time in Denver was a stop over in the airport. Don’t even remember where I was going

I adapted easily to driving habits in big cities and often comment to the wife when we’re out somewhere in the car that so and so would be lost in LA.

We have a tidge short of a mil people, no freeways to speak of (no need really) and the ability to get from one end of the city to the other in 30 mins or less.

Kinda spoiled with 10-15 min drives to work and would hate spending the time required behind the wheel in some big cities.

For that I get 4 months of snow and a week or two of “holy shit is it cold”

I’m okay with the trade. Glad you found paradise

I got a great education and made a lot of money, which I invested well. That’s why I won’t live where the gov wants to highly tax me to support illegal immigrants and homeless people. YMMV.

Have I mentioned we don’t have Nancy Pelosi and you do?

I’m glad we don’t all like the same things or the same places. Our little island doesn’t need more people.

Slow cooked pork, taters, carrots and onions on the side for dinner tonight... I may have ate too much.

Around round of storms coming through now, Mike got hammered earlier.
