Let's be fair to Californians californicating Colorado. California is messed up because of people coming to it from out of state. Ask any Californian you meet in Colorado where they came from before moving to california and 9 times out of 10 it will be from Texas, Florida, or the northeast.

It really depends on how old you are and whether you're single or not. That'll really determine which place has the long term sustainability unless you have some other connection to either. Being single in Wyoming under 35, even with a good job can be very, very difficult. No real diversity, so there's that. But you know what you're getting into when you get here and so...if one can hack it, there are lots of other advantages.

You might try it??...I double dog dare you to post that on the Colorado Data Site!!...I got banned for 3 days saying that CO. was borderline socialist commies.! Just going off what I read on there post lol

the guy gave me a 2 point infraction talking bout Boulder

One thing for sure...I drove through Wolf Creek Pass < very beautiful area to Monte Vista CO. to pick up an old wood cook stove I found on ebay.

One of the most breath taking drives...I went through Arizona, New Mexico, I think Utah also from CA.

I have a daughter that has made a profession out of the welfare system. Not working for them but taking advantage of them. I don't talk to her much.

She was up here in Wyoming and got assistance from the state. She soon found out that the state expected you to do as much as you can to get back in the workforce. They made it more difficult as time went on, to just set around and get assistance.

So, she moved to Colorado. She once said, "Daddy, it's so easy to get assistance down here. I can work a part time job of only a few hours a week and get by comfortably." She's been down there for 6 years and they are still handing it to her.

That money has to come from somewhere and I would imagine it's coming out of honest, hard working residents of the state of Colorado.

She's a hopeless cause, so don't even go there with me.

The point is, she's on an endless ride in Colorado where Wyoming said she either needed to take on work and start trying, or they were going to cut her off. I liked that part.
