I left Denver for Fargo back in August. I have always loved Denver, but after my car was attempted stolen twice in the last year alone, I took it as a sign to leave. North Dakota gets bitter cold in the winter, but life is easier(imo) and much more reasonably priced here.
Simple life is sounding good these days. Technology was creeped into my life and I hate being dependent on it because it isn't reliable more than my abilities.
yeah nd is cool, i would live there in a second if they had legal weed
I worked in Fargo a few years ago , it's a pretty nice place
I live in denver. Your facts are spot on. Thank you for the video.
I lived in Denver in the early 2000's. There were tons of homeless folks living there even then. Mainly they lived in the downtown Denver area. My understanding from friends still living there is it's gotten worse and worse. Denver was a beautiful place and it would be a shame if it turned into San Francisco, Portland, LA and other cities who's politicians do nothing to address and correct the issues. The southern border situation is a shit show and it was during the last administration too. Our politicians in Washington are a joke no matter what side of the isle you're on. They are all self serving, corrupt, useless douche bags. I'm all for immigration if it's done legally. But to let floods of people in because we can't lock the border down is insanity. Cities and governments need to get much tougher on these issues that are ruining so many cities and states...The only way to fix this issue is to vote out these useless politicians.
Wrong!!!! The southern border was more controlled under the Trump administration and even though the border under Obama was a crap show it was more under control than it is now. The democrats WANT immigration illegal or otherwise Jerry Nadler said so because even though there are seven million working age citizen men in America who are not working, they are NOT looking so Nadler thinks the ten million illegals who swarmed here are a good thing?? Why not require people who sit at home and don’t look for work get their rears out and do a job? But democrats think it better to bring in the dregs of humanity to keep America going? Nah….democrats know that if they give illegals some of your money and my money so they can survive they will be slaves to the democrats and vote for……wait for it….DEMOCRATS!!
Colorado native of 40yrs.
My family and I are leaving and moving to South Carolina in a few months. Can not wait to get out of here. I’ll always have the memories of what once was an amazing place to live.
How do you SC?
Like South Carolina?
@@masonkanterbury3007 hey Mason!!! It’s absolutely beautiful and a slower paced way of living. People genuinely seem more joyful and relaxed and happy. We’re in Summerville. Within an hour of the beach and close enough to amenities we want for shopping etc but it’s also got a rural feel. Best decision. Check it out!
I was born in Colorado and spent majority of life in Denver. Moved to Melbourne Florida 4 years ago and here i am watching both your videos! Melbourne is so nice and quiet compared.
How is Melbourne? Is it hard to meet people in a "small town"/small metro area like the Space Coast? I've been wanting to move to Melbourne/Space Coast for a while
@@brentlee8085 I've lived in 3 places, Citrus County, FL, Pompano Beach, FL and now Denver. Best places was Citrus County, friendliest people, but then again I spent the first 10 years there, but I remember making tons of friends was easy there and the minute I moved to South Florida that suddenly became super difficult and SoFlo people are super rude. Denver is kinda inbetween Citrus County and South Florida in terms of people. They aren't great but they aren't horrible.
If Denver is not careful, it's going to end up being the next Portland. I went there in May of last year and all you smell is clouds of dope smoke everywhere you go and if you're sensitive to it and you get migraines, it's a real pain in the ass.
From the outside looking in it seems like it's already Portland and heading towards being like San Francisco
Pot smoke is no worse, IMO, than tobacco and we put up with that everywhere for most of our history. Isn't that why CO decriminalized it?
Denver used to make me happy, now it makes me angry, so I left, now I’m happy again. If I had to choose between San Francisco, Portland, or Denver? Let’s just say I’m not picking Denver, but hey, one persons paradise is another’s hell.
Sanctuary city.
Colorado has an interesting future and I don't know if Fort Collins and Colorado Springs can save it
Mass climate change migration will likely bring people to CO.
Good work Polis!
You have an incredibly soothing voice. I look forward to your videos. Thank you for all your hard work:)
Never really understood the fascination with Denver, its a boring midwest plains city with a mountain backdrop
Mork and Mindy? nanu nanu!
Denver is not midwest.
@@dvferyanceBefore the Californication, Denver was closer to a Midwest city. It has lots of similarities to them.
@@jag92949 my first visit to Denver was in 1997 I never got to impression it was Midwestern even then
@@dvferyance If it wasn't for the M
mountain backdrop Denver would be almost identical to Kansas City
Miles and miles of bike lanes, but not one single bike rider.
Having visited Denver in the past, I can attest to the insanity of the city and surrounding areas. It is truly becoming lawless, with open air drug use and migrants flooding the city they are setting themselves up for something terrible this spring and summer, and probably beyond.
It's sad. There's still quite a few areas in the Denver Metro that are really nice I feel like... but of course it's all expensive.
If Biden Kept The Border Closed.... Would NOT HAVE THIS MUCH PROBLEMS That What I SEE In Ever City Too
It's all over Colorado not just Denver, it is the worst.....but it's everywhere!!!!
I live in Grand Junction now and it's getting bad here too. Drugs and homeless, low paying jobs, higher than hell costs. Corrupt cops, the list goes on.
We left the Denver area in 2015. No regrets.
Thanks for your candor!
Thanks for watching and for the support!!
Still tons of traffic lol seriously though it looks worse everyday here. The migrants in parking lots is very real sadly and spreading deep to every Walmart near Denver even in Littleton for example
Had lived in Denver metro since 2007 and city of Denver in newer section on the northeast side since 2015. Denver is an s-hole city and that’s on the city policy makers and leadership. Sold the house and moved back to my sensible Midwest state and city 2 months ago. Much much better.
The ominous music during the drive bys later in the video 😂 fitting.
Looks good but yes, I agree rediculously overpriced. Not much different than New England. Overpriced for very little good reason.
In denver, the media tells us that Colorado has always been a blue state through history. Ive been here 50 years, most of what is heard is a lie. Theybeven call us Coloradans, how hick is thst? Im a Coloradoan and not proud of my lame duck state. The most igorant ppl live in sanctuary city.
Denver used to be such a nice city :(
I enjoyed this video.😊❤
The juggler has been at that intersection for a long time.
Now the illegals have taken over there and when the light turns red they are all over the cars trying to wash people's windows for money, it's also affecting the traffic there.
Chris, you have nothing to apologize for.
Lol, I actually used to work at the Buckhorn Exchange and its history is an adventure and a place that has to be experienced.
Denver grew in the 2010's because of the redevelopment of the fmr Stapleton airport. There was room to grow now there isn't.
115,000 people live where the old Stapleton Airport was? Doubt it. That’s how much Denver grew in the 2010’s.
@@ChrisHarden i doubt that many as well but Denver was unique in a way that they had all this vacant land land to develop. Also keep in mind you also have the strip of land to the east towards dia that was annexed when the airport was built that has also been developed.
Denver became overpopulated when we legalized marijuana, everybody and their mama came from across the country for it. Not to mention Denver and its surrounding cities have had illegals coming here for decades and now it's dirty, over populated, pothole riddled, traffic nightmares with homeless people everywhere.
Since marijuana was legalized
Alcohol could also be considered a gateway drug…. But Denver has always been a boom and bust city, maybe it’s just a continuation of that pattern?
True. Alcohol is worse than weed in a lot of ways. And it very well just be a phase we’re seeing in Denver. Time will tell.
In Overland Park Kansas we have so many people that stand on the street corners and bother you in the parking lots. It is mostly homeless vets that are out and professional hustlers.
Popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 ready
This is just the beginning! I never thought it could happen to Detroit - it's just a blue state matter of time. Keep it up liberals.
I’m leaving next week. Rent is too damn high.
I'm planning on leaving soon too
I am moving out this week, heading to the Midwest Pure Michigan. Where did you move?
I am in Texas and watching this video I can only wish "Don't California Texas"
Oh t X has its own serious corrupt issues don’t worry ..
Denver in decay!
Interesting!
The gentrification of inner city neighborhoods really took off in Atlanta. That process still continues. Downtown, midtown, the warehouse district on and on. Housing prices skyrocket as with Denver. I would say that also put a cork into Denver's growth as well.
Honestly this is in every city.
Been wanting to leave for years. Gonna make that happen as soon as I find the right place.
I live in Baker, unless your venuzualen, there is no opportunity here.
Where is that in the beginning
For the past month of January, I’ve seen Denver become more tame during my Lyft drives. There are far less homeless people and migrants on the streets as far as I can see. I think the cold weather drove them out. I never welcomed cold winter so much.
Where? There are homeless camping in Cherry Creek so I disagree with you.
Buses and trains filled with druggies smoking. Assaults.
@@maryanna8066 Downtown Denver and Cap Hill
@@jag92949 high crime. Moved out of there last year.
@@jag92949 they are further south on the boarder of Denver/ Englewood.
Sad. Every city profits off the homeless denver is in its low times i was born hear and wont spend my money in a city that has lost it way.
Take a ride to old Aurora. Take Colfax east from downtown Denver. South Santa Fe actually looks cleaned up from when I lived in the area 40 years ago.
East Colfax is cleaning up significantly though.... And the "yuppies" are moving in 🤔
Old Aurora? No.
Ghetto area
the latest estimate shows a 3k increase now
Such an overpriced DUMP
Good, let them leave. Maybe then housing costs will come down enough for natives like me to actually buy a home. Easy come, easy go.
why tf would you still want to live in denver?
@@quaaaaaaaar I was born here. Everything and everyone I know is here. It's beautiful. Objectively still better than most other places.
Just for the record. That street performer has been performing at that corner since covid. I used to see that guy all the time and would give him food and bottles of water. Because I was doing catering deliveries.
I just moved out of California. I wouldn’t go to a state with two Democratic senators like Colorado.
No kidding. I never thought I would ever be grateful to live in a fully Republican state, but boy I tell you I am thrilled. I've always been a centrist and voted for the person no matter what the party is, but you can't do that anymore. I don't know what the hell has happened to the democrats, but they have a fat lot of nerve pointing to the Republicans as being evil when they open our border to let everybody in.
Ah…identity politics.
@nancyoffenhiser4916 lol what "open borders?" There is an asylum exploit that people are using and time and time again democrats have put bills to speed up the process from 5 years to 6 months and Republicans shoot it down to keep it an issue. Maybe you should understand the causes and why people are rejecting the hypocrite Republican platform.
Chris alludes to a good point. Probably, legal weed is wildly expensive--compared to street weed.
Adding crap to weed is nothing new: Long ago, it was angel dust (pcp).
Here in Raleigh NC you will see i buch of Hispanic people looking for work outside Lowes.I was working for a guy under the table doing landscaping this past fall and he would hire them.The job is done and they where good workers.
I’m sure some of them are great people that were dealt a bad hand and are just trying whatever they can to make life work.
@@ChrisHardenOne of them is 20 years old from Hondrous and was smuggled into Texas.The bill is $15,000 that he owes to the COYOTE.He has to pay a certain amount every month sent to his mother down in Hondrous.If he does not there WILL be problems.
@@gregorycyr9272Good grief.
He did not have the Resources to take 2 weeks off.I stand correct.
Do you have video on detailed stats of Milwaukee districts!I used to live there as a child!
Not yet!
Welcome to Colorful Colorado, NOW GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!!
What happens if I have my windows rolled down and I am ar step sign oh my gosh?
Blame it on the government.
Has anyone had any luck with these guys outside Home Depot? I need some painting & drywall work done but haven't had any luck getting contractors to show up & give me a quote.
I’m sure you could give it a try if you’d like. Someone else commented about the same thing in Raleigh North Carolina and it worked out for them.
Yes go for it they should work out good for you.
Hard workers they appreciate the ability to make money. Hope that the person hiring pays. That's the issue.

If I had a choice between living in Denver or Colorado Springs, I would choose Colorado Springs.
I moved to Denver in 2012. When i got here the first place I ended up was the triangle by the Denver rescue mission. Rhey were smoking drugs in the wide open not even hiding it. I came from Chicago i never seen something like that in my life. Long story short ive been in Denver now for 12 years i love Denver its way better than Chicago i don't have to worry about walking down the street and get sho at😂😂😂😂. Civic center park is on Broadway and Colfax back in 2012 you couldn't walk 2 feet over there without people asking you if you want drugs i was like wtf is that....
Colorado is 26th in overdose deaths nationwide, so, yeah, legal weed isn't making things worse. It's probably making things better. Where weed isn't legal, overdose deaths are higher-West Virginia, Tennessee, Louisiana and Kentucky have four of the top 5 overdose death rates, along with D.C. As for a Detroit-like future of abandoned homes, don't count on it. Denver long ago wisely diversified it's boom-and-bust economy, taking advantage of its location as the largest city in the inland west. It's a money-printing hub of research, airline travel, hospitals, tech, media, finance and federal government. Those houses you drove by in Baker (8:25) are all $1 million-plus. It's also interesting to note that Denver's highest percentage of growth was between 1990 and 2000, long before marijuana was legalized. I enjoy your drives and am looking forward to #18, when you hit my neighborhood (Wash Park).
Agreed. Trying to connect the legalization of cannabis and the current state of SOME parts of Denver is a bit of a stretch. Also, pretty convenient of your argument to completely overlook the 1.6 billion dollars brought into the state from tax revenue and fees from the cannabis industry alone from 2015 up to 2021. A good portion of which went to funds for construction of new buildings, education, etc. Denver isn't suffering from liberal politics brought on by California transplants. It's suffering what every other major city is suffering from and that's the effects of unchecked Capitalism: real estate bubble, opioid epidemic (pharma), people fleeing to cheaper states etc.
So I have a friend who lives south of the border his job is to allow people to have papers so they can go work in United States work visas He says they hand them out like candy.
Yep in order it's crime, cost of living (and dealing with cartel land lords in general), and homeless people aka crime.
"Homeless isn't crime" weird how there's always a spike in crime around where homeless people are.
I can't park my car literally anywhere in public without like break ins and stuff. Try to take an uber and they're basically threatening you for tips the entire ride. The police do nothing. They didn't even investigate a live bomb threat at my office building or someone firing a shotgun in a bank parking lot I reported with evidence.
Landlords basically keep all security features broken and then just auction off your car at every "luxury" apartment. The buildings are secured with plastic electronic locks that default to unlocked when bashed open, and then they just leave them broken for months at a time. Basically anyone can just walk into any apartment or steal a car for free and nobody will ever investigate it.
You try and go out for a walk and there's homeless people bothering you and then they see where you live and stuff. Go to the park and there's needles on the ground.
I understand people being down on their luck and it doesn't automatically make them bad, but then one person just starts attracting more people and they generate an insane amount of trash for not having anything. And then they're sitting around bored at night which leads to seeing what they can steal from cars and stuff nearby.
Really the worst part is you don't know if someone is walking up to you asking for money or they're just going to stab you because they're high. Or they start screaming and get into an angry rage suddenly. Imagine taking a 10% chance of that happening on every single person you see outside and trying to walk with your kids or something.
The direct Denver area is otherwise kind of cool with a nice layout and walkable things to do, which would be fun if you could actually go in public. The light rail and buses are pretty cool. But they're just hotspots for violent crime.
Once you get further out it's just very quickly endless seas of asphalt roads and parking lots. Infinitely spreading suburbs with boring copy pasted houses with nothing to do for 10 miles. Any location that ISN'T that is flooded with homeless people being a bother.
Again even if you're fine with suburbs and will just drive wherever, you can't park anywhere because your car will get stolen.
BTW pan handling isn't JUST a nuisance. These guys are running up to you at very busy intersections shuffling in their pockets. Don't know if they have a gun or what. Demanding your attention while someone could be sneaking up on the other side of your car. So you rush getting out of there, directly into 4 kids sharing 1 scooter who are going too fast on the sidewalk with obstructed vision . It's like a circus with not only traffic, but pedestrians, bikers, and scooters. It's like they're trying to get hit. Add in pan handlers and it's a miracle I haven't heard of this happening yet on the news as far as I've seen.
I’ve been reading more about this stuff recently and I’m amazed that my car wasn’t jacked the few times I parked in downtown. Car theft capital of the U.S.
I still live in Denver it sucks, and is disgusting!
Jesus! Looks like DETROIT ???
Its bad here. Why lie BAD
Time to pass and enforce panhandling laws... Seeing the handwriting on the wall... Past time to leave..... Bye, Bye good rithance ....
As Willy Wonka says who do you blame the mother and the father and the Democratic party
i'm moving to houghton michigan. legal weed, friendly people, pasties, lake superior, snow, and a ton of cool stuff
If snow doesn’t bother you Houghton would be awesome
I have been in Denver for 6 years. I moved here from Grand Rapids. I don’t like winters in Pure Michigan!!!
Left Denver for Aurora. Not too far, but it doesn't have the problems Denver has in city leadership! And it seems to be a trend!!!
What? Aurora??
Used to be a lot more migrants at HD. But I hope people are leaving. I do notice the trailheads are a bit less crowded. It's only cute for so long, and it gets boring when you can't find new friends.
Denver needs 50,000 more migrants !
Just kidding around that’s all Briggs 😊😊😊😊
Great place to visit
Meh place to live unless you have a house.

Brighton is the new Denver just so the US know! Brighton has become the new normal city!👀
People leave, and people come back too...
You are high 30,000 in 2023. Way more than that buddy. If they are coming illegally you can not know how many came. I can assure you it was a hell of a lot more than 40,000 last year. WAY more.
Homeowners and natives are leaving.
Migrants, Gangs, and homeless moving in mass for a while.
DENVER IS THE BEST CITY 👌
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Duh
Why would you buy cannabis off the street in a legalized state?
Because it's much cheaper.
Nobody is canceling you without getting thru me first. That would still be never.
This is what happens when you legalize crime and force cultural enrichment.
Goh. 🤡
Drug abuse is massive in red states, too.. I question that legal mary jane is the cause.
Mafia duh
Denvers population is growing rapidly. But we know someone who left. 😂
Neither the Denver Metro Area nor the city proper is growing rapidly anymore. It was pre-covid. I know someone who left too
Yo Briggs does Denver have bald 👨🦲 people living there today 😅
OK…..taking in the negatives of Denver as reported here, I knew what the answer would be……..Denver has been controlled by Democrats since 1963……61 years……I assume Denver became a sh**thole many years ago. And further research reveals Denver is one of the top places people are moving OUT OF. Let’s hope they change their voting habits when they settle in a more sensible city.
Alameada lol, it's not that hard brother that e is an i. Now your Spanish won't sound so horrible.
Biden economics. Progressive Left, thank you.
Good old identity politics. 🤡
Sounds like it's from Covid to me.
This sounds like it was written by Epich times. I lost count of "long time Republicans feel that new democratic policies caused this problem".
Legal, taxed, clinical Marijuana does not cause overdoses.
Assaults on private property is a policing policy. Denver has a common sense policy after several cold blooded shooting of innocent pedestrians. Often (Alb, SF, LA, MSP, miami, NYC) police unions, when given an opprotunity to participate in community centric copolicing policies, take an "oh yeah, we'll show you" approach, looking the other way at easily enforced yet highly irritating crime (like grocerystore assailts) . "Hey, we were told we're being too trigger happy" (ACAB).
Denver is a large city, so neighborhood analysis would be more appropriate and not so misleading. Your seeing a covid bubble in over developed ring areas.
"I know people will cancel me for saying this" is typical RW victim splaining: be outrageous, misleading, emotional appeals, lowest base tribalism, but first attack criticism by feigning weakness and victimhood, rather than seeking actual truth. Cowardly.
Real estate developers, flippers, have driven housing prices beyond reach, across the country. Car prices as well. Homelessness is a national problem. National housing and transportation for the low and no income sits unaddressed, while wealth has further consolidated. We are hostage to 40 senators representing less than 30% of American voters.
And covid lasted well past the sickness. Original supply problems caused initial scarcity. Now we see world wide inflation best controlled here in the US. However, the reports arenin for anyone to look, we see corporations making their largest profits in history, with no shame, and no accountability that the now high price of milk, or a dinner out, is being siphoned into a rich man's offshore bank account
But "long time Republicans feel things changed when people moved in from california". Right wing propaganda nonsense.
Hmm. Well it’s a real feeling among a large crowd in Colorado if you talk to the people around there, and the state has changed in some not so good ways over the last 20 years.
I’m also not left or right, I’m right down the middle. I know that still makes some of you mad, but the act from people like you of shaming others and taking personal shots at others for no other reason than not having the same exact opinions or feelings as you might have has gotten to be a tired act. 🥱
@@ChrisHarden I appreciate the earnestness of your response, and impressions of Dencer. However, you're suffering from all sorts of systematic data skewing, starting with self selecting data, self-fulfilling prophecy, plus the half dozen I've already listed.
It seems you have a good heart, but taking a freshman level intro to statistics and survey creation seminar would be personally enlightening. Five guys sitting in a bar saying "this beer tastes great, let's open a brew pub" suffers the same fallacies, with the same earnest honest conviction of your words here.
I can proudly say that I am conservative. The left’s solutions to crime are insane. You people rather punish the victim instead of the criminal. The left demands extensive tax raises so they can give handouts to the people who don’t deserve it. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a closed border and RESTRICT the number of foreigners crossing it.
Here’s why housing and cars is more expensive, there’s low supply and high demand. Colorado has limited inhabitable land and the construction material to build new homes is far more expensive now. Used cars are expensive since very few gas-powered cars have been made since the pandemic. There is a car shortage. It’s basic high school economics.
I live in Colorado by the way.
Spot on. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Typical lib, just ignore the problem and pretend everything is fine . Then when the problem is out of control in 10 years you’ll beg the Feds for money for a “solution”
its Trumps fault
