Does anybody here know why lovecrowds hate Denver so much? I've never seen anyone rant and post fake news articles about a city and state the way I've seen lovecrowds post about Colorado.

Its not just Denver, although they like to job at its liberalness, but sometimes Colo Spgs and CO in general.

Yeah, how is there version of a "big dig" going? Wasn't it stopped for years because of one pipe in the ground?

Have you moved yet?
Most people in those cities have something called a car.

For one thing, I moved out of the Denver Metro area in about the tail end of 99' and continued to work up and down the Front Range of CoSprings to Loveland and Greeley until 2002. I don't think I've ever rode that lightrail, so I'm no expert here.

I agree the Denver Metro including Boulder have been tax dollar leeching liberal cesspools, but Denver isn't like your average mid-sized city STatistically.

If you follow stats, the city of Denver is smaller than San Antonio, Austin, Albuquerque, etc. This simply is not true. The Denver Metro greater MSA incorporates Aurora, five counties Adams, Denver, Jefferson, Douglas, Arapahoe, so... Keep this in mind.

Have you ever tried to drive around the Denver Metro? It's a nightmare. Compare the roadways to a rundown but superior eastern town like Rochester New York. There's no comparison.

It's my understanding the Light rail has expanded out to the DTC... Denver Tech Center, Olde Town Arvada? Maybe it's made a run all the way to the Airport? Or at least to Stapleton? What about Thornton-Westminster-Northglenn Area? What about the Littleton-Englewood area?

I don't know where all the lightrail goes, but I know it has a stop at the back end of my alma mater Auraria Campus on Colfax west of Speer, then off to the LoDo Denargo market area, then on towards Stapleton.

Denver Metro is a complicated mess. Any improvement seems necessary, or just bypass that bog, but keep in mind, Denver is VERY isolated from a Metropolitan standpoint. Who are the Enver BronDonkos' nearest neighbors? KC, Arizona Cardinals, the Seagulls, the VHS Cowboys... Think about that.

Oh, I forgot, the Minnesota Viqueens...



You got that right. The Denver Metro is very expensive and wages there are horrible, but not near as bad as the rest of Colorado.

Ask folks from the Black Forest North Colorado Springs and Monument area why they build McMansions there and commute to the Denver Metro DTC for work.





Spare me.

You're gonna upset a few people here, namely Nancy mushy-boned Pelosi, Chucklebuckets Schumer, Maxine Impeach-fotisix-Waters, Schiffy Schiff, Nadler, Fauxa-I-was-pregnantahontas, the Lamestream Blamestream Fakestream Mainstream media, academia, Hollywood, bobby deniro, the View... Hillary-not-my -fault, the "intelligence" gasp haha Community... JOE-He's Not My Son- Biden...

Partisans like to take shots at anything possible that hits their liberal or conservative radar. Chicago, California, red states, blue states, Kansas, Colorado....blah blah blah.

I wouldn't see their posts if you guys didn't respond to them. lol.

This is another "let's hate on all places that are liberal".
