As a Colorado native I would also add with the weather that while the climate is mild...it is completely bipolar and likes to rapidly change on a whim. People seem confused by that from out of state and are often unprepared for a day to begin with a high of say 75-80 degrees, followed by a storm front coming in that becomes a blizzard...or having a high of 75 degrees one day with the next day having a high of say 25-30 degrees. It is wise to always have layers to dress in, and to always be prepared for unexpected snow even if it is sunny and nice. People also take the UV intensity for granted. With the high elevation when the sun is bright you can burn to a crisp rapidly. I say it takes 3-4 times longer for me to burn at sea level compared to at home. Would also stress that too many people moved to the Denver area too rapidly, so the nuisance of constant traffic, bad traffic, and crowding in general is another issue. I moved out of the Denver metro area in 2017 due to this (as much as I didn't want to I couldn't take it anymore, and costs were ridiculous). I still think in relation to costs pay isn't quite enough in the Denver area either...but I suppose if you are a well to do person it really would be no biggie.
Great points. Today it’s 70 degrees in December but by 7 pm it will be 40 again with snow on the horizon. Sad to see a lot of natives and locals leave being priced out in some cases. I believe it’s still a great place and worth fighting for.
My lunch in Boulder the waiter was so high and the staff was so high they were barely functional they screwed everything up ordered one thing got a completely different thing it took so long I just ate it anyway the whole staff was just out of their mind on gummy's and the bums on the street were dressed better than me and had better hair cuts
I lived there 45years ago and the traffic was almost as bad as 580 in Oakland California.
Thanks for the info. I really wanted to know about the registration taxes and insurance.

Registartaion is expansive but quick and DMV are nice and functional. People start work early here vs NYC.
I wondered that. Lots of things start late on the east coast. Sporting events shows ect. Thanks for sharing
