The only reason it's like that homie boi is because it's cheaper for them to end up in NYC than Denver. As odd as it sounds that's how it is. Plus they got family there from the days of mass immigration, something that never affected Denver due to it's unfortunately isolated location.

that was just part one, like i said.

also consider the scale that those pics are on. that is a small, very small section of manhattan. also consider that ny is on a world scale. that is something you see on cnn. denver is not on that scale at all. now i will break down the other things the OP lists in his first post in my next post.

Denver has the largest gay pride celebrations in the Rocky mountain Region and one of the largest in the country!

Talk about diversity!

listen...i'm not trying to say that you don't have diversity over there.

it is NOT in any way shape or form on the scale of the diversity that you'd find here. period. its not debatable. factually speaking, queens alone has more diversity than all of colorado.

Then let's see you prove it. Keep in mind that Colorado is 5 million strong. It may be empty but not THAT empty.

And if you can't then there's only one thing left to say:

To each his own, brotha, to each his own.

What's not debatable is that Denver has everything NYC has on a smaller scale and IMO bigger is not always better. So while we have said NYC is more fun to visit I still argue that Denver has everything NYC has thus is just as good if not better then NYC to live.

that is just not true. i'm starting off with a few pics. a few. i haven't even started explaining anything, really.

i'm one person and i'm eating a frank right now and trying to fight hunger and post at the same time. give me a chance to actually post, here.

denver does not have everything that ny has, period. you might have some similar things on a smaller scale but the city of denver just does not offer everything that ny has. i'm sorry.

Again, WRONG. If you have ever been here you'd know that. Our music scene is really only surpassed by that of LA's at this point. I can only name two 'mainstream' bands from NYC whereas I can name nearly a dozen from Denver. Our sporting arenas are world class.

Also, the SCENERY in Denver beats the crud outta NYC any day of the year! NYC just can't handle the might of the Rocky Mountains; a man-made skyline just doesn't beat a natural one that makes even NYC look insignificant and young.
