Today's high in Denver 80 degrees.
Tomorrow, Blizzard warning!
yep that seems pretty normal lol
@That Guy yeah but it's really not lol
This is a normal fall/summer/winter/spring weather. I remember one day it rained, snowed, was sunny, and then wascloudy, then was a clear night.🤔
My favorite alert is the simultaneous tornado and flood warning. Like, where do I hide?! Even the sky doesn't want people here.
One-time well more than one time it was snowing on my sunburn shoulders
Colorado: Our Weather is just as bi-polar as the people.
Agreeable
Sincerely CO native
yeah lol
@S3ntry YT I can't tell if your being sarcastic but if your not😂
@S3ntry YT honestly that's true me and my family don't travel to much and the places we do travel to don't compare at all to Colorado
SingStar10 um I live in Colorado rude
I saw someone's car saying "You've smoked your weed, now get the hell out of our state." Amen.
this state is filled with homelessness.
@@lostatsol7626
✌🏼
Yeah, but where is it that it not filled with homeless people ?
I was going to write a comment, but I stopped typing.
😭😭😭
Colorado was a great place before 20,000 people a month started moving there. I currently live in Colorado and I must say its aggravating to see beautiful open spaces being turned into apartments.
Lauren Nielsen Colorado overrated ocean beats mountains any day
I only like the one near Arvada. but since Chatfield is being redone everyone is going to go there.
Preach. I live in the mountains and some assholes chopped down part of the forest on the mountain across from me illegally, so they could build houses. The county caught them, fined them, and now there is just a big, sad bald spot on that hill.
Lauren Nielsen omg yes
I live Co too. I know for fact it’s nowhere near 20.000 lmao. 3k the most per month. If you count all the tourists thats coming for the weed then maybe 20k a month. If we has 20k people moving in a month we would probably have the highest population in the us
Hey Californians, I heard Kansas is the new hot spot. 😂
I would. I hate it when a californicator keeps negatively comparing where they currently live (it doesn't matter where) to California. And yet they never go back. They can do that shit in Kansas.
Kansas is better than Colorado to live in. You get to enjoy Colorado but dont have to live there.
Ernesto M true Kansas is like Colorado if there weren't 1000000000 people everywhere lol
@@MikeErnesto oh no Dorothy there goes Kansas
Mike Adkins mmm no I think Colorado is my hot spot
Californians, I heard that your state is gorgeous, stay there.
Trust we will, there’s a reason it’s the 2nd most expensive state to live in my guy. Also The weather here is never like the comments I’m reading ^^ so yeah. I don’t see why we would leave to someplace with an weather haha just cause it’s cheaper?? Nah
@@salvatoremangiavillano6084 unfortunately, a lot of people do not feel like you we have a bunch of Californians moving here lol
Salvatore Mangiavillano
what’s the problem with californian moving there?
is it because they are causing your cost of living to go up?
look man it’s expensive here i’m moving to colorado 2022
@@memyself1176 No, raising living costs I understand but most Californians vote wrong.

Yeah don't move to Colorado and drive up our rent... I'd prefer Colorado be less popular
amen
Nathaniel Westlake I take offense to that
It's too late man. My neighbors literally only moved here for the weed. Like come on.
Agreed Nathaniel
Nathaniel Westlake just like the good ol days. I remember Colorado would barely get mentioned at all, now we got weed (we always had weed) legalized now we're the talk of the country. Damn bandwagoners.
I live in Aurora CO and it’s insanely expensive to live here. We pay almost the same as California and New York for property, yet we don’t get paid not even the half of those 2 though... 😪
Average wage in Aurora is about 60k. I'm looking at 1BR apartments and it's about 1500 w/ utilities. That's not too bad, but I agree it's a lot more expensive than most people from out of state realize.
Im in Denver,paying 1700 for a two bedroom apartment, in most states that more than a house payment...
Metal Pillowcase Not true,I lived other places and make just as much in my profession as I do in Colorado. I lived in Albany NY and payed 650 a month in rent for a two bedroom and made the same there as I do here in Denver...
Do you not commute because that’s why
Colorado Springs
I can’t believe you used our sports uniforms as a reason not to live here. Really? How about the climate? We’re a high desert and it’s extremely dry, I’m talking nose bleed dry. Constant application of moisturizer and lip balm is necessary.
I think you are expecting too much from a video made by a comedian that makes reference to remote island natives not having internet.
@@TheNacho1717 He's in the army because he said Fort Carson but still... showing ancient Broncos uniforms is lame.
OH! and the Random summer snow storms! And we're all really horrible people...so just...you know..move to Arizona or New Mexico...
Don’t live there because it’s just a plain wack ass state with nothing to do unless you wanna live outside
Especially in winter.
I came back from Colorado and y’all think y’all were packed come to Florida 🤦🏻♂️
Vito Mazzacone right
Na....we're good. FL is trash.
Sam Clark I used to go to Florida twice a year, after a while got absolutely sick of it. The state is completely flat and humid all year round, the only thing to do is sit on the beach and drink. Even living there u won’t be on the beach all the time because you’ve got to work, not to mention they get disastrous hurricanes and tornadoes.
Vito Mazzacone I really want to move away from south Florida atleast I can’t stay here my whole life.
been to florida colorado is way worse. only place i have been that is worse is LA.
The only real reasons that are mentioned in this video that might concern people who want to move to Colorado are the winter driving and the cost of homes and rent. Almost everything else in this video is subjective based on this man's opinion which is fine but things like sports team uniforms really shouldn't detract anyone from moving to Colorado.
Marshal Arnold yea,this guy sounds gave subjective reasons mostly and sounds like a doosh
The winter driving is a cake walk in Colorado. Only place you can drive a 2 wheel drive vehicle through heavy snow in the mountains. It was one of my favorite things to do when I lived there. The worse the weather was, the more I HAD to be out there on the road.
Kevin Hamer oh yeah piece of cake..... and then your car gets smashed up. But not because you suck at driving in the snow, no but because someone moved Colorado and doesn't know how to drive in the snow oops. All because you needed to go get some groceries or had to dare I say go to work. But in all seriousness driving in the snow out here can be a huge pain in the ass especially with the amount of people here now. I'm a CO native and have lived here my whole life so I'm fairly used to it but I hate driving in the winter out here and I personally wouldn't mind moving where there isn't any snow and a nice Beach :) I think some people might have an issue with it so I feel it's a valid concern and that's about it in this video. But if you're moving already from a snowy climate like up in the Northeast well then it's probably not going to be that bad for you. But moving from a state where you don't get snow or hardly any it can be a big change for you and could actually detract from someone moving here.
I’d have to agree. The weather and prices are the only things I’d actually consider. Everything else is very subjective
Marshal Arnold I completely agree and was about to comment the same thing. You can find decent rent too if you aren't in a big city. I rent a 2 bed 1 bath 900 square foot house (not trailer) with an enormous yard filled with fruit trees for $800 a month. I love Colorado!
I'm from Colorado and I love living here in denver
avery odekirk same
Same
Dodger Blue not just the mountains there is biking hiking amusement parks skating rinks and the best thing is camping you just have to look and have some people go with you there is so much to do you just haven't found it yet
Dodger Blue ya well everyone drives crazy everywhere now a days that's just something that we have to get used to but other than that how about going on a road trip to Colorado Springs
Same here
I love Colorado. Had to move three years ago because it's so expensive. Miss my home 😞. If you want to talk about a shitty state you should talk about Arizona.
Arizona? That shithole place is STILL in the Union? I thought we threw them out of the USA two years ago?
Great winter weather in AZ.
I had to move to south Carolina 😣. I miss home too
I'm an Az native looking to move to Colorado. I agree with you
How about Nevada. Shitty and expensive also.
I lived in Broomfield & loved it! The ppl were laid back and easy going. Colorado doesn’t get enough credit for the hospitality ❤️🤗
Hospitality? Are you kidding me? New Yorkers are more polite than Coloradans.
Every "Karen" in the world lives in Colorado!
Wow! Not my experience at all. 🤷🏽♀️ I’ve lived in the South most of my life and the racism here is still life threatening and life altering for me and my family so I’ll choose Colorado (specifically Denver) any day. And every “Karen” I’ve ever seen in action thrives in Alabama and Texas. 🙄
I lived in Broomfield I constantly would get pulled over for being Hispanic
The only contention I've ever experienced from the natives is that they hate all the people moving there, especially if it's for weed
Yeah because they should just legalize in their own damn state instead of coming here and pretending that everyone living here would prefer a welfare state.
Yes it’s true. They hate you with a passion.
Dave H But that would mean moving back home and living in mom and dad’s basement and that means no girlfriend and no quality sex. Lol!
Yep we do,go home..
Homeless have flocked to colorado. It's sad af...
Thank you, you are scaring off the Californians. We all thank you
pastry phantom we gonna keep comin ;)
katherine peterson go you guys have hills, you have some recreational laws about marijuana, what else do need from us
katherine p OK, the rent here is getting more expensive
Right keep them out
You are in a fog! Colorado was Californicated big time. Douglas County was the fastest growing county in the nation. They ruined it all.
Grew up there and I miss what it was before Californians and everyone else came here and ruined it. Going to the mountains was to get away from the city and now it feels like the city follows you to the mountains. I miss the little mountain towns so much though.
You do realize he spoke about you ( "native coloradans) in the video? Lolololo
@@adrianojames5828 lol I haven't been to Colorado in years and I ain't the typical lyb trash.
@@ethanadams6171 What state do you live in now? Looking for a new place to ruin.
Just moved to CO from Alabama. . . But before that I was from California :) Seems like there are tons of little mountain towns here? I guess all things are relative though. Hey, look on the bright side, you could always go to Montana /Wyoming/Dakotas if you really want to escape civilization and be in the mountains.
You didn't mention our homeless problem that is rising.
That comes with the liberals....smh
One would figure that by the winter to that problem would work itself out in one way or another either people move out from the cold or there's a whole bunch of human popsicles
Let me guess your from Pueblo 😂
I visit Colorado and saw 2 homeless people. I live in California, you want to see a homeless problem...visit California it will blow your mind. It feels like a foreign country.
@@nathanfox4222 I'm not from Pueblo and there are way too many homeless in my town..... A beggar on every corner..... litteraly almost every corner. Surprise surprise more than half of them are able bodied keep kids, 18-25.
Yes please do not move to Colorado ! We have enough people here, and rent is too high !
trillest manda move to Florida and its a dump, rent makes no sense compared with income. It's humid and hot 9-10 months out of the year! Not to mention the bugs and traffic.
Just don't move because most of the ppl.
I want shorter lift lines!
I wish I wasn’t born and raised in this shitty state!
Tbh Colorado is weird 😅 I can say this because I was born and raised here
Plus our weather is super bipolar 😂
Fatal Stitches I lived there for my whole life, and just moved to New York. Im in 8th grade, and the weather in Colorado was the best weather in the whole country. Weather here in ny sucks.
Raptinator 98 well it also depends where in CO u lived ... because I live in Grand Junction and sense it's in a valley we get wierd weather
Fatal Stitches ah... I lived in boulder and aspen. Aspen had beautiful weather
I woke up for school, it was snowing hard. By the time I get to school, it’s beautiful out and pretty warm. Then when I went out for lunch there was almost 3 inches of snow on the ground.
Upstate NY weather is probably one of the worst states when it comes to weather. It’s bipolar asf. One day it’ll be 70-80 next day it’ll be 30 degrees all it does is make people sick. With how it drops and raises
Thank you for telling people not to move here. Our state is amazing and we want to keep it that way. EVERYONE COLORADO IS FULL!!!
No Colorado is full of shit. You forgot to say “shit” :) thought I should correct it.
Colorado has a lot of school shootings and my school almost got shot up luckily I moved to texas
You guys are really rude i was born there
You can't just believe something you hear
Colorado is full? You ever heard of Long Island? 10 million people on an island half the size of Rhode Island. This doesnt include Queens.
1. "The natives are hostile" 😂🤣
@@jadesantistevan8992 I'm a Highlander and I love that he made this video even if alot of it isn't true I want people to think it sucks here and not move here nothing against people is just more people that move in rent gets more expensive almost doubled since It got legalized.
Hostile have any of these people ever been to NJ? Lol
@@Tommy88- ever been to NY?LOL
Sadly, not hostile enough. The state's been taken over, and I'm headed off to greener pastures.
Does this not apply to every state? And even every country for that matter?
I live in CO and he is right that it is getting crowded in this beautiful state. Forget about the fact that our government tested tons of Nukes here and left very strong residual nuclear fallout, instead listen to him when he says not to move here because the Broncos and Nuggets once had horrible jerseys lol
thank you. someone finally said that. it was over 60 years ago. who cares about the jerseys
Ok?
Briggs.... you did a fine job on Colorado.... I’ve been born and raised here for 59 years. The changes I’ve seen in just the last 5 years is astonishing.. Rent has gone crazy, home prices have tripled, and stop me if you’ve heard this before.... To many Californians!!! We basically have one interstate going north/south and one going east/west. Our traffic planners didn’t account for an influx of Californians. Thank you for this video. You can visit, now go home, is our motto! You pegged the weather too. It snowed the last 2 days in the hills, and thunder stormed on the plains. Tomorrow will be 75 degrees. 😎
Jack Walter I have always noticed that by the time they finished expanding the roads the traffic is terrible
The Californication of Colorado has been going on longer than that. I lived there from 1993-2002. It was nice when we first got there. There were jobs and reasonably priced housing. THEN the Californians figured that out and everything started to change. When I left in 2002, I was already calling Denver a suburb of LA. I cannot imagine how much worse it has gotten. Add in all the snow (and the Californians who cannot drive in it) and it's a no thank you. I will say this though. Pretty much every native Coloradan I've met was cool AF. Had some good times with those good people. They know how to party.
I agree!!! I LOVE Colorado. The scenery is magnificent. I've never been anywhere as beautiful at the Rocky Mountains. I used to tell people if I ever managed to get a job there it would take dynamite to get me out. I was wrong. Colorado has become infested with Californians. I don't think Trump should build a wall between the US and Mexico, it needs to go between the US and California. They've made their state unlivable, now they are spreading like a virus to every other place that is...or was...a decent place to live. God save us all.
It doesn't help that Colorado DOT has a deferred maintenance backlog of a billion dollars per year as far as the eye can see thanks to TABOR.
Thank you. I love Colorado. The only reason I'm not there now is my wife wanted to still be close to the ocean. So I am in Portland.
I lived in Denver for 41 years, then moved to a small town in Southern Colorado to escape the insanity.
Denver used to be a great place to live, but the weed brought a huge influx, and it's a sanctuary city, (which our governor pretty much announced nationally), so that brought another influx. There are now *thousands* of homeless on the streets. Not only has rent gone way up, but there is an authentic housing shortage - literally no place to rent! About 40% of the homeless have jobs, but can't find/afford a place to live. Between intense job competition and sky-high rent/house prices, natives have been pushed out.
As to those pot profits, a *huge* portion of what people pay for pot is the state tax on it, (I don't want to look it up, but I believe the tax exceeds 25%). One of the selling points on the pot was that it would bring in *billions* of dollars that would be used to improve the schools. On the ballot for this year's midterms, there were, once again, propositions for big tax increases for school improvements. As always, they stated that our schools were some of the worst in the nation. What happened to all those billions??? I don't know. Maybe they are having to make up for the fact that they have lost federal funds due to sanctuary status. The voters smartly said "no."
Along with the homelessness comes needles/trash/crap left on the streets. One lady in an upscale neighborhood woke up last year to find a homeless couple doing the deed on her porch!!! I *am not* making that up. My Southern Colorado neighbor came to Denver to visit a couple of years ago. They went clubbing downtown and she said that they saw rats running around the street. We never had that before. It has been destroyed by too-rapid growth.
i used to live out in golden colorado i loooooved that area and the surrounding areas
It must be the only place in the world where a working person is homeless. Lets say a person works 45 hours a week per 12 bucks for hour. Will earn 2k a month and still homeless? Cant be
I mean, I would have thought that was awesome if I woke up and saw two homeless people fucking on my porch!!! I would have potentially started filming as well...
@@coneheadzmusic1460 LMAO
yeah i used tolive out in golden colorado i looooved that area and similar suurounding areas, it was a semi rural country town, and i lived there in the 80s but it was very much a ''time warp'' town and still is in some ways, from what i seen in pics and heard from folks recently, , it was still the 60 s and 70s, but ina good way , i miss it, but i dont miss the winters, and i dont like what denver and all has become its gotten to be TOO liberal and its just not good at all
Sadly Colorado is sprinting to become another California disaster in just about every way.
Yup been here 36 years born and raised. Now my family is looking at selling our home and heading north.
yup we're about ten years behind kommifornia. personally i'm about to bail out and find somewhere i can afford to live.
We moved here because our adult children are here. We are barely surviving! Cost of living is off the charts in most categories! Bad Drivers, too crowded! California without the Ocean.
No , No , No
@Peace Frog Im not late for anything
Legit agree born and raised coloradian and our weather has a bipolar disorder
Papa Darkfluff Yeah it's even worse than his example. For example it can have 1 foot of snow on the ground in the morning and barely any by the time you go to bed

Yup
The weed is good and the Rocky Mountains are beautiful, but it's hot in winter, below 0 in febuary, and everyone here is so mean.
beautiful environment ? you mean homelessness?
@@lostatsol7626 no, they mean by contributing to the destruction of the natural habitats within colorado to make room for more suburban neighborhoods, heavy pollution and littering, and overall little care for how they treat the area
I have lived here for 6 years and love it, but as u can see from the comments, the people here are worse than ones from New Jersey
Prince Groose true..CO is full of lots of very rude and conceited people..or psychos. Doesn't anyone remember Columbine?
Sky S I wouldn’t say psycho but they are very selfish and think they own CO
Like so I can't live in Colorado for like 700 a mouth

@@duckduckgroose9517 NC is way more beautiful than Colorado. More waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and NC has beaches
I grew up in Colorado and I love it here. I still live here because of the beautiful nature and endless possibilities of what to do next. It’s an amazing place to live.
i'll bet it is beautiful, what is your mosquito situation up there (I'm down here in Hell.......oh.uh I meant south Louisiana) can't be out after dusk or they'll carry you away (and sorry but we look forward to late October, when the weather finally cools off. Oct-May......best weather!!

Thank you for keeping me informed.
Everything said in this video is true. I’ve lived here since 1988 and it’s nothing like it was when I first moved here.
The entire world is nothing like it was in 1988.
Dont come to colorado permenantly. It is waaaaay overcrowded. Takes hours to drive somewhere that used to take 15 min.

Blame Texas and California
I'll say this I lived there and am planning to go back
Great Channel Briggs! Love the facts and humor :))
*I was stationed at Fort Carson, and the 4 years I lived in CO I fell in love with it. I'm now back home in CA but IMO Colorado will always be better than CA and hopefully someday I'll move back to CO say Castle Rock, place is sweet*
Mr Anderson castle rock is was to crowded I live there trust me ik and it’s getting more and more expensive
I live in Castle Rock it used to be the best but there’s way too much development now
I live in Castle Rock but I honestly have nothing to do here. In California I lived in a big city and I could just walk for like 3 minutes and there's a store or park or something. Here I need a car to get anywhere.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I'll trade you places
Well done sir! I'm a proud Colorado native and resident(also a big fan of Portland OR) and everything on this list is pretty spot on. Especially the weather. One time in April I remember it being rainy in the Denver Metro Area, a blizzard in the Rockies, a scorching drought in the southeast and two tornadoes in Boulder County...All on the same day!
Ross Webster Colorado can have all 4 seasons in one day
Yep! It’s was a blizzard on the morning of my prom and they almost canceled but the night of it there was no snow at all silly Colorado! Just keeping us on our toes
I love these videos, I feel like I'm on a vacation watching these videos !!!
I lived in Denver and Colo Springs back in the mid-1970's. I had a one bdrm. luxury apt. in the Springs by the foothills for $240.00 a month. I would ride my Harley anywhere and everywhere with little traffic issues. Cripple Creek and Central City were the coolest ghost towns. Real estate prices were low, but absolutely crashed in the early 1980's. A friend bought a killer mountain chalet in Evergreen for $250 K back then. Denver was super dirty, that's why I went to the Springs. There were few jobs back then, for sure. I'm glad I experienced that Colorado then, because today, it's a frickin' zoo. Too crowded!
It's not that we get hostile because people think there are things wrong with Colorado, we get hostile because the influx of people has caused massive problems in the Denver metro area. That's not so much a problem caused by the people that have moved here as it is the government for not working on the infrastructure.
When someone moves here and starts to complain I immediately think "then move back to where you came from".
Im a colorado native and yes we hate anyone who moves here only because it use to be cheap to live and easy to find work. My dads double wide trailer whent from being worth $80k to $300k in 3 years. Thats the reason for the hate. We want to be the middle of nowhere again. But anyway what you said about the wether cracked me up lol im from alma and it will go from 60 and sunny to 6in of snow and 30 to 60 and sunny with all snow melted within 5 hours in the same afternoon.
"Dads double wide"... lol. You must be from Aurora.

shut up, your are not a colorado native unless you are a Native American. Other than that you are just a fucking european Immigrant.
@@worldwidevirals3024 yes chief fartsalot
If you want to go that route unless you live in Africa you arent native anywhere
Your subtle chirps are amazing ahaha.. absolutely loving the videos
Need the mountains in my life. Just lucked into a fabulous vacation. HUGH!! Love those pics
You know this is probably the most accurate reasons why to not move this state. While I am a native, I do not harbor ill will to new out of state comers, yes, it is getting very expensive to live here, yes the weed is great, yes we love our home town teams (probably a little too much, i know i do), and yes the outdoors is one of the greatest things we have here. However should you still wish to move here, all i can ask is that you be a good human, love thy neighbor and welcome to our state!
Paul Sanchez perfect answer (but please guys still don't come here there are to many people right now 😂)
Thank you, Paul. I've long dreamed of moving to Colorado because I love the mountains, the seasons and the landscape. I would never move there to change it into something it isn't. I don't even smoke "weed" or ski. I just am so tired of living in the same place all my life. 😞 Colorado is beautiful, and maybe one day I can make it my home...if I can even afford to live there. 😞
FabFour Fever I mean I’m 20 and a broke college kid but can still afford boulder. Wages are high in mountain towns and by 2020 our minimum wage will be 12/hr
Just send it and make it work, fuck planning

Blade you must be inns serious house share. $12 an hour you'd need at least two 30 hour a week jobs to rent a room in Boulder. A super hot 3rd story loft with shared bathroom is $900 easy. I used to love above the fox for free but wow, can't find a place up the hill for under 2,200 for 3 bedrooms.
Nice place to live if you have plenty of money, otherwise look someplace else.
I used to live in Colorado back in '83. I really did like it a lot. Skiing, backpacking, history, and fishing. The last time that I was there was 2001. I really can't say what has changed in full detail, but I will keep my memories in check. I hope to be able to go back soon.
11. True nature experiences are getting hard to find
Maybe I’m just a curmudgeon, but I've always found it kinda hard to really enjoy Colorado’s great outdoors thanks to all the crowds these days. The guy who comes up to you while you’re taking a break and starts telling you the story of his life, the group of hikers who thinks nothing of carving their names into a rock in graffiti, the group who comes up onto the summit and starts cheering and giving each other high fives like drunken Broncos fans while the rest of us are trying to enjoy the views - all of these have happened to me this summer of solo Colorado hiking alone.
Yeah you tell them!No more Californians
You're obsessed with California.
We, including myself, can and will live anywhere. Get over yourself.
Gregory Vierra You can get over yourself first
Gregory Vierra No, sincerely, all you californians are ruining colorado and all the other western states.
@Max - what people like you don't realize is there are many native Californians who share the same ignorant, hateful and discriminatory view as you and the No Name coward; You all would get along quite nicely.
I live there and I'm not happy with what it has become. Still gorgeous, just a bit f**k up.
That is because of the legalization of Marijuana. I too live in Colorado and it is sadly becoming the New California.
Illusion TFD Because thats what liberals from California want to do.Fuck our state up and proceed to fuck other states up
I'd gladly switch! I loved CO. I live in Vegas and it's terrible. Too many drugged out and homeless walking the streets and how nasty the people are to one another.
I'm planing on living in Wyoming when I graduate.
Sounds right.
Love colorado! I live in fort collins, beautiful and tons of little markets and cafes. The people here are kind and if you live in little towns there are lots of craft beer places and if you live in a town too everything is basically near you can walk to everything or just ride your bike a car isnt necessary unless you live in denver.
It's true. I was born and raised in Colorado and the sudden population boom is very offsetting. Denver is really ghetto and dangerous now. I would not recommend walking home after dark downtown. Lots of homeless people, pollution and it smells nasty downtown. Cities in the metro areas like Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Littleton etc used to be safe and be really nice places to live..now they are trashy and the rent is outrageous, apartment complexes are very picky about letting you move in. It is very hard to get an apartment if you don't have good credit and make 3x the rent you would pay per month in income. They have strict rules, extra fees for everything and every person (and pet) the laundry rooms, rec rooms and swimming pools are usually filthy..the laundry washers smell like old body fluids and I saw a turd in swimming pools at multiple apartment complexes I've lived at. Trust me, it's just not worth it!
ha i live in the rockies on colrado
actually, i’ve lived in colorado my whole life and i love it. i never want to leave!
Hahaha, so many of these reasons are why I ran away from Colorado as fast as I could after high school....
.... but, I did live in pueblo, so I already had a great reason to leave before the reasons in this list.
BosepheusJones But Colorado is still a beautiful state
No Name... as long as you avoid pueblo....
BosepheusJones I go to Pueblo just for the riverwalk
BosepheusJones Because there is no riverwalk here in Denver
No Name fair enough. I grew up on the lower East side so I'm a bit jaded.... but the River walk is nice.
One of John Denver's song _Country Roads_ is about West Virginia.
Oh this POS dissed our state too.
West Va falls far short of the song. WVA is a shiity state with lots of bad people. Lots of meth, etc.
Gammareign no shit
He's actually singing about "Western Virginia" most people assume he's saying, West Virginia.
Down here in Death Valley California we have two types of weather. There is a burning up hot and burning up hot with a wind warning with 3% humidity. This year I have had one tenth of an inch of rain. So yes you're a hundred percent correct about Southern California
Colofornia... or is it Calirado?
Mike D haha the only difference between Colorado and California is that we have snowboarding not surfing
Omg lol stop it!
XD calirado sounds better
This is too real. Literally everyone is from california or colorado.
Mike D definitely fucking California
I didn't hear you mention Bigfoot universe
Colorado has crazy temp swings. I've see a 50*+ drop from lunch to dinner.Other times my kid would play in the sprinklers one day, snow the next.
i lived out there in the 80s, i loooved it ,i lived in a rural small town called golden colorado this area was still very much like the 60s and 70s and i rember it being over all very nice, and the surrounding areas too, people,i had so much great expierences with most people i cane across and got to know , i miss it sometimes but i dont miss those long snowy winters, same for new enngland, i dont miss that area or its cold at all lol
We don't need any more people in Colorado.
Why? Just because you don't want to be squishy? If you don't like CO then move and stop complaining. Why you can move over the California and use the money that can buy a mansion is CO and buy a cabin here is CA? And Colorado is already trying there best to not harm the environment, they rejected the Olympics did they not?
I agree with Dusty. Having lived there for 7 years, I left because there were too many people...........in 1987! I recall the bumper sticker popular in the 80's and it still applies: "Welcome to Denver...........now go home!" Amen.
I saw one recently that said, " You came here, you got high, now go home."
I'm moving to Colorado in 8 days Westminster but I love that you played The XX intro in the beginning of the video.
Tabitha Gilbert how you like so far?
@@perez3182 it's too expensive so we are transferring to Grand Junction Co the housing prices and traffic are ridiculous on this side of the Rockies tbh.
I live in Colorado and I honestly love it so much
The weed problem extended: It has created an issue with transients/homeless to the point they are cropping up all over the place. They create unsanitary conditions in areas where they decide to squat and even try to live in areas they think is public domain when it is actually private property.
Winter Drivers: Stay out of Colorado Springs, it is a military town, and no one there knows how to drive in snow/ice....let alone knows how to use a turn signal. Better know how to drive defensively or you'll find yourself in an accident.
Rent extended: Even with colorado voting in a minimum wage increase of $12 by 2020, it still doesn't keep up with the cost of living due to rent and other daily expenses. Rent and Utilities alone will more than likely eat up a good portion of your monthly income...if not all of it depending on what you bring home.
Because a logo from the 60's is a reason to not move there?
Aerity because he's still sore his momma made it. Lol
lol!!!! =)
Lol ikr
Exactly!
I know right
I live in Florida, and like CO so much, I go there for summer vacation. I don't care for cold winters, so I don't live there. I found the people of Colorado very friendly. I always make new friends every time I go there. I have no problems with altitude. Late June, and July 1 2020, I saw it get down to 28F in Leadville and Ice Lakes Trailhead! Official low in Tampa FL - 82!
Born and raised in Colorado here! You're list is 100% on point.
I grew up in colorado, moved away, immediately regretted it. But now, I can't even afford to move back :(
Erik S Wow,This comment made me hold back tears.What an emotional story.well put.Thanks a lot Californians
I live in Colorado but it doesn't snow that often winter just ended and it snowed like at the most 5 times and rained 2 days also, the mountains aren't that bad if you like black ice and flipping you're Toyota Prius' that actually ruin the environment even more, Yes i'm talking to you California.
Barren Wasteland *your
It doesn’t snow anymore because of global warming. Years down the line we’ll be a desert like Arizona.
I’m not moving there or anything, but I will come visit that beautiful landscape of yours for sure
HOLY SHIT!! That Marine Corps photo was my boot camp platoon! The hell did you find that? The ginger in front is a guy named Nix. Where did you find this picture? the white guy in the back's name is Sky XD He and I got busted napping in a shower stall in an unused barracks during third phase... LMFAO
I live in Colorado so be nice. We aren’t all that way and I do realize there are a lot wrong with us here but there is a lot of awesome things too!
I've lived here way too many times and can vouch for all of these.
1. Thanks for your service
2. moved here in '99 and lived out east, weather there sucks ass and hail is a huge problem
3. lived on Ft. Cartoon before I myself joined the Army
4. now live in S. Colorado Springs in the GHETTO and it's getting waaaaaaaaaaaay too crowded here and Denver... fml it's nuts up there.
5. I was waiting for this and I'm so damn glad you made this one
I live in South Colorado Springs too.I love Colorado
Great presentation 😍 ❣️
What song is playing at the beginning of this video?
Yeah,
You would never want to move to a state whose sports teams have bad outfits.
Very helpful-
both those jerseys are dope
Thank you for telling people to stop moving here!
Thank you for shuting up
Ethan Bailey omg its the ppl here mostly but ik a lot of good ppl too.
Sophia the Best why should she?
Ethan Bailey I’m still going!!
AMEN
Very informative and enjoy your style and love your sense of humor. Gotta check on your other states. Thanks
The people here are pretty unwelcoming and shallow. Nobody connects on a personal level. Lots of loneliness and suicide, here. Living costs have tripled in the last 15 years. Large influx of Californians -- so much so, that the state is nicknamed, "Calirado." I'm a Native™, who is looking for greener pastures (literally and figuratively).
TheyRiseBand k
Speak for yourself. I'm a native as well and many many of us are connected on a deeper level ...depends on who you hang out with...or live in Colorado.
NAILED IT!
They should call it Texarado. Been here almost 20 years and I have met a lot of obnoxious Texans, but few Californians. And I believe it is the influx of idiots from the moronic states in the last 6 or 7 years that has made the people here unwelcoming.
@@DDD-yr5os We hate Texans. Everyone was a lot happier in the front range 10 years ago...way too many douche bags moving here.
Does he think he’s hurting anyone that lives in Colorado with this video? I want to thank you sir, we Coloradoans need this kind of content. We hope that people from other states will see this video and want to never come here.... ever. STAY AWAY. PLEASE. GO HOME. WE LIKE IT HERE, AND ITS EASIER FOR US WHEN YOU DON’T COME OVER. Thank you.
Austrie Law @california @texas
This guy wonders why the natives are hostile? Maybe it’s his dickheaded, self righteous attitude?
Lol good luck with that.
I wish
CulturePROVOCATEUR nah we just don't like how expensive it has become here. But thx.
Again, I’ve been there and had friends that lived there and left there. Mostly because of the influx of people from an unnamed coast. It is a pretty place to drive through.
Phoenix Amateur RC Crawler People from California
......I can neither confirm or deny that statement.....
Haha, we know who you are talking about. Im a Denver native and it doesnt feel like hime anymore.
Phoenix Amateur RC Crawler California liberals bring wealth. They are fking up the state
Phoenix Amateur RC Crawler yup, that's why I left.
I took my first trip to Colorado only 4 weeks ago. And as you can see by my profile picture; I fell in love with it. It wasn’t about the weed or the city, it was the mountains and the green everywhere and the clean air. I’m still in high school and I don’t want to drag my wife and 16 kids there, I want to graduate and attend CSU for vet med and then help the animals there and be happy in the snow. I want it for the nature. I want to keep it clean and beautiful. So the natives can complain, but I want everything for the state you do, I was just born in Arizona. I truly feel like even though I’m from AZ, I belong in CO. And there’s nothing that will stop me from going there and fulfilling my dreams, not even the rent prices.
Now the rent prices are a little nuts, but there are still places you can live for reasonably cheap. I live in Englewood which is less than a mile away from Denver and I pay $1300 a month for a 500sq ft apartment, which believe it or not is pretty damn cheap. Fort Collins on the other hand is tough. Rent is getting higher and higher up there.
These videos are helping me figure out which state I’d like to move to
That Nuggets uniform is CLASSIC!!!!!
yes just perfect for you little rainbow warriors
B Frank ok
Trash af
The traffic is getting pretty bad here now in Denver.
LedCessna I drove through 6 months ago...I've never seen traffic like Denver traffic
Yeah its bad,I get out of work at five,but hang out in the parkibg lot til seven to avoid rush hour traffic on 70
Getting?
Chris White it didn't used to be this bad
Dirty Fingernails omg what do you do for 2 hours
I live in Fountain, CO. Thanks for your service, brother.
Where is fountain?? I live in henderson and have never heard of fountain
Originally from Colorado and miss it dearly. When I go back I walk off the plane and feel the weight come off my shoulders. Such a chillaxe place to be. Go BRONCOS!!! GO Avalanche, BUFFS, Rockies, Nuggets, Falcons, Rams.
I was happy to find your video about the state of CO. One thing I will say is this--CO is becoming a nightmare! Yes it is beautiful here, I too came from another area of the country. I came because it was peaceful and I loved the lands and respect them. I wanted the quiet wilds. I am sad that it has changed so much since i came here. I feel like you are right about several things, but boy oh boy, this is experiencing the pains of a great migration, like not seen since the gold-rush days. I'm talking of course about people moving here from other places like CALIFORNIA & WASHINGTON. People who come here and bring their money, and that creates a problem. The effects of this migration can be seen in the RENTS, and in the INSANE real estate prices, but it also drives everything else up too. This creates poverty and homelessness to those who are falling off the rung and just don't have the money to afford it. The income needed for a person to survive here, and not well, is 21.70 an hour. Most regular jobs only pay between $9 to $12 an hour. Is it any wonder that so many people are homeless? If you want to buy a home, you will be a pool of several, not 2, not 3, but sometimes 10 or 15 other couples/people to put an offer in. AND if you are not prepared to pay sometimes $$$10-15k /and more-above asking price, wait to hear nothing, deal with smug realtors that have a gold-mine at their fingers....well, you will be sadly mistaken. You are being conservative in my opinion. Every where you go out here, it is the same story. The housing is un-affordable, and the traffic, noise, crime, aggressive behavior, and driving, cost of food, emissions testing etc etc etc. It really is becoming the "new California". It is sucking. AND the projections are that it is set to continue on this path into the future. The mountains and wilds are beautiful,, but wherever you go up top, there's score of people, lines to get into the parks, and now so much so that a lot of places have raised their rates to cash in too. Colorado is ripe for capitalistic pigs. Hurrying out here to suck everything up, and sell, or rent at sky-rocketing prices. It makes me sick. I'm going to migrate soon, escaping Colorado!
agree..been here all my life and Im done
I totally agree with you and I live here in Colorado I've been here almost 20 years I can't wait to go back to Texas
Spiritual Sand Small town Texas cheap as hell
What's stopping you?
I'm from Boston MA, living in California. On my visit to Colorado I found a beautiful place. Reminded me of the better things about New England.
When I was stationed in Carson I was doing an FTX and I woke up one morning to find it snowing in May. I was so confused because it was also not cold at all.
I think you nailed this one! Nice job again!
Thank You
Same here Colorado came in second place before I moved to Texas from California
Glad you didn't add one more to our overpopulation.
The song playing at the beginning is called Intro by The XX from their album XX.
Noticed that.
Crazy weather in the Denver area. Last May my son and I went to a Rockies baseball game. During the game a tornado warning came over the scoreboard. Yikes! The night before we had 2 inches of hail...
