Tourism isn't the main industry in Cañon City, prisons are. You should be truthful with people about job opportunities. Cañon City has 12 prisons, that's the main industry here. And it only takes about 45 minutes to get to the springs, and Pueblos only about 35 minutes away. Take it from someone who's actually lived here for six years. It's also only an hour and a half to Monarch ski resort, and only three hours to Wolf Creek Pass, about an hour and a half from the great Sandune's, and has world-class mountain biking, fishing, and kayaking. You might also want to let people know that once they get out of Denver and Vail and Breckenridge and Boulder and Fort Collins or anywhere considered "affluent" and start heading into the more rural areas of Colorado, it's very much a "Christian White Nationalist" kind of vibe. So if "let's go Brandon" and "F&$k Biden" flags are your jam, this could very well be the spot you've been looking for.
This is a brief overview of these cities. If I ever do a deep dive into Cañon City I'll be sure to include that info. Thanks for pointing that out to me and thanks for watching!
Thanks! I needed that. So I'm actually safer around the Eses in Pueblo versus the White Power in North Colorado. Got it. Thanks because I was looking at those Northern cities. Even us peaceful black people get provoked in places like that.
If you do don't bring your left wing policies here IF you are a progressive. The DemonicRATS have already done enough damage to thie once beautiful state.
Good public schools in Greeley? School district 6 lost it's accreditation a few years ago. That has NEVER happened anywhere else! They got their accreditation back by absorbing University Schools, a great private school into their district. That brought the averages up enough. They didn't fix anything.
Thanks for the feedback Mike. There's been mixed options on the music. Well out of 3,000 views 6 have mentioned it so it's pretty one sided but I think subtitles are the best solution. Thanks for watching!
The trick is to find an inexpensive place to live that doesn’t suck. Sure, it is dirt cheap to live in the middle of nowhere - but then you’re in the middle of nowhere. I’m going for Colorado Springs - seems like a nice balance between city and cost of living - and great views.
Very true! With remote work becoming the standard this is going to become more and more tricky! Quality of life is important to me so my goal.is to help people find their best quality of life... anywhere in the world that might be!
@JasonTaylor: Me too...one huge reason is of the 4 major cities of CO, only Colorado Springs (COS) leans conservative. Still plenty of liberals there so there's "something for everyone" I guess. Lived in COS twice. Am in TX now, but hope to move back late 2025 -- and hope the housing market AND mortgage interest rates are WAY more affordable by then. I'm a veteran (twice) so I like that there are 5 military bases there. -- BR

Hey, thanks for watching what you could. Seems there is quite a discrepancy with device volume it seems. The video does have subtitles so you can just turn the volume down and read them. I'll probably make another one of these videos as this one was made when I first started the channel. Thanks for the comment.
That's definitely a good idea. I was pretty new at this when I made the videos bug I'm going to start doing that moving forward. Thanks for the comment
Please Don't move to Colorado. It's horrible. Homeless everywhere. It's on fire. Most of the Mountains have either been burnt or bulldozed. All the wild animals have rabies. Crime is rampant, and everyone is stoned 100% of the time. Coffee costs or 25$ a cup at 7-Eleven. You will need a loan at Starbucks.
Check out my video that's coming out later today! I'm going to start doing this more often, with maps! I appreciate the feedback thanks for watching. Are you moving to Colorado or do you already live here?
The information was good and helpful, but the background music is horribly distracting. There are tons of free music sources, if you insist on having any, but the more "lively" the more distracting. I'm only posting this because you said it didn't seem to be bothering most people. Most people won't bother to tell you, they'll just move on to another channel. I personally won't watch another if the music is at that same volume. Pro-tip - try watching at 1.25% or 1.5% speed. If it sounds unfavorable when slightly sped up, it's going to bother plenty of people at normal speed.
I always appreciate feedback on this kind of thing. I've been much more conscious of the music volume but when I listen to the video I can barely hear the music. So.Im confused as to whether it's louder on certain devices. This video has quite a few views, so how do we know people are just moving along when the music is too loud? Also, do your do video editing or anything? I just see that you don't have any subscribers so I'm curious where your "pro-tip" is coming from. I'm admittedly not a pro. Just curious, thanks for the comment.
No, I don't create YT content, though I do moderate several Twitch channels and help ensure background music and even game audio is not excessive. Aside from the daily stream administration, a professional consumer of content can offer well educated "pro-tips!" I have listened to an impossible number of hours of YT travel content over the past several years. Sometimes at a fulltime pace and level - meaning well over 40 hours a week. Many people are looking for specific types of information. Listening at increased speed helps quite a lot in "getting through" 6 to 10 hours of content in a day. If a video sounds bad at even 125% speed, then it's probably sounding bad of off-putting even at normal speed. I only ever go as fast as 150% but I know of people that go for 200% to get to their target. Your video at 125% sounded grating like circus music - depending on which track was playing. So I slowed it back down and ... it was simply too hectic and distracting. I want to hear YOU not the "lively music." I do use subtitles, but if you're a channel I'm going to follow and consume, I want to hear you. I can go read plenty of plain text elsewhere. YT is a video experience. I'm gauging YOUR vibe along with your information. For what it's worth, I'm listening to your videos on a Windows 10 Pro PC over mid-quality desktop speakers through Chrome. I doubt it makes much of a difference. It's more likely that different people have different sensitivities and realms of focus. I expect it would be materially different using headphones, though. I appreciate your response, and wish you well with your channel. Be well!
@@ryanrydel9114 Gotcha! No, this is seriously good information. I'm relatively new to the whole TH-cam things.and I've made a lot of adjustments due to feedback. It's a work in progress so I appreciate you! Cheers
It's hard to get it right. On a technical level my voice is 4 times louder than the music so on paper it should be quite easy to hear me. I'll try and be more aware of that
That's an interesting point. I don't think the population determines if an area is rural. If you compare that population to LA or New York it's quite small. Rural also refers to a less "built" environment. Maybe suburban may be a better way to describe it. Thanks for your insight, I appreciate your comment!
Grand Junction is a shit hole now. What was a genuine rural community with an incredible canal system for irrigation and incredible views and a friendly vibe and a small college, was supplanted by the progressive agenda designed to appeal to people who are indifferent to the history and personality of the town. Now, aside from the pretentious winery events and superficial bike riders, Grand Junction is now home to more crime, more drugs, gang activity and homelessness. And after some of the towns you listed, ( Pueblo, really!!?? ) I think I will take any realtor speak you spew with the smallest grain of salt.
@@krisgray8124 Hey Kris, thanks for your insightful comments. It's funny as a kid when we came through Grand Junction I thought it was kind of unimpressive. As I've gotten older I have an appreciation that I didn't before, maybe it's changing or I am. This video is actually one of my oldest and oddly most watched.

Thanks for talking about crime stats...most real estate agents/brokers don't want to talk about those "quality of life" issues people ALSO need to know about before moving there, be they renters OR buyers. Of course, there are other such issues such as demographics, politics/voting preferences (Dem/Rep ratio), etc., but like crime stats those can be researched online.

Whatever, Colorado Springs is for me...as soon as home prices and the mortgage interest rate come down where I want them. The Good News presently in the Springs is I've seen a consistent price reductions form homes in my preferred Zip Codes there, AND, it seems Builders are cranking-out new homes/subdivisions. As well, new Class A "luxury" apt complexes are being built (or have been since I left late 2022) and RENTS have come down quite a bit from back then, too.

@@LivingInColorado5280 Well, my experience with realtors in 3 states (TX, NM and CO) has shown they aren't allowed to address those things (it may be related to the concept "steering" they want to avoid) so it's best we buyers do that for sure on our own at assorted websites. But really, I wouldn't want to put a realtor "on the spot" (if you will) by even asking those questions (as said, given previous experiences) as it may be awkward if not uncomfortable for them, so I do understand.

It is far from cheap or even affordable. Rent for a one bedroom could start at 1k. If there is any under that they are not in a safe area. Houses for sale in most cases start at 350k if ur lucky.
What would you say the average person does for work in CO? CO is on the list of states I may move to in the next year or two but out of all the states I’ve looked at CO makes the least sense. It’s a fairly expensive state (even for some of the dumpy looking apartments), but when I look online for jobs there’s not much going on aside from retail/fast food and some specialized jobs. How do folks make it happen in CO? Is everyone in tech or an influencer working from home?
need a Ranch, 1-2 acre place on the outskirt of town.. Very few pine trees, elevation between 5-5,700ft.....no strict building permits, lakes nearby would be great...
I can't say with total confidence but I did recently see a guy wearing a Colorado Ironworkers Union shirt so I would imagine if you're a welder there is no shortage of work. My first job I was a welder. I still live the smell of burning metal. Thanks for your comment!

@@cocostrayer6667 Thanks for the feedback. I've hired an editor recently as my channel has grown and he seems to have a good grasp on music volume to original audio volume. I've asked myself the same question about the music and it does really help liven up the video. Appreciate you watching.
I must say that you're the first to ask that 😆good question! Because to me "cheap" isn't necessarily positive. So I wanted to convey a sense of mystery, hesitancy and unease. Did it work? Is my actual face weird? Thanks for your comment.
@@MinouMinet While I do appreciate your feedback out of the 3,000 views this video has about 5 have said the same thing as you. I usually inform them that the music volume is 4x lower than my voice on paper at least. Personally I feel that the music makes the video a bit more lively. I'm probably the only person that sees.it without. I do appreciate you like my info. I've tried to be more sensitive to the music volume but I'm definitely going to keep it in future videos.

So weird about the music. When I watch the video I can barely hear it but others have also said it's too loud. I think subtitles are the solution. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
@@LivingInColorado5280No, deleting the music is the answer. Just Talk!!! Why ridiculous music at all!?!?!?
@@cocostrayer6667 Thanks for the feedback. I've hired an editor recently as my channel has grown and he seems to have a good grasp on music volume to original audio volume. I've asked myself the same question about the music and it does really help liven up the video. Appreciate you watching.
Why is your thumbnail that kind of face? Weird
I must say that you're the first to ask that 😆good question! Because to me "cheap" isn't necessarily positive. So I wanted to convey a sense of mystery, hesitancy and unease. Did it work? Is my actual face weird? Thanks for your comment.
I think I can afford Agular ...
Sterling & Cañon City are prison towns. Trinidad is cool.
That would explain why they're cheap. Cheap doesn't always mean good 😆
The dude from New York, take values and go to Chicago.
or Pritchette ....
Terrible music!!!
Thanks! There are four different songs. Which one is the most terrible? Do you make music I can use?
@@LivingInColorado5280. Music is unnecessary and altogether obnoxious, only want to hear your info.
@@MinouMinet While I do appreciate your feedback out of the 3,000 views this video has about 5 have said the same thing as you. I usually inform them that the music volume is 4x lower than my voice on paper at least. Personally I feel that the music makes the video a bit more lively. I'm probably the only person that sees.it without. I do appreciate you like my info. I've tried to be more sensitive to the music volume but I'm definitely going to keep it in future videos. Thanks again!
@@LivingInColorado5280 Sure, it's your video, do as you want!
@@MinouMinet Subtitles! That's the solution 😁
or maybe Campo....
I'm not familiar
Campo is a Statutory Town located in Baca County, Colorado, United States. The town population was 103 at the 2020 United States Census.@@LivingInColorado5280
Colorado Springs seems to be the winner in my research. It is not that far from Denver and it seems to be a nice balance.
