I'm more financially successful here in Austin and the economy here is much better across the board..

Austins growth is on a whole different level

And suburban Boulder (it tries to claim it's it's own area, but who are they kidding, it's part of Greater Denver) has the University Of Colorado

Dude! Your posts are always so odd! And Denver has been a top 10 fastest growing city for longer than Austin!
