Unboxing Colorado: What It's Like Living In Colorado

Is Colorado the best state? It's great, but it has some faults, too.
Does everyone ski in Colorado? Does everyone in Colorado drive a Subaru?
We’ll answer those questions and more. So, throw on your coat, but get ready to take it right back off again - as we unbox the state of Colorado.
Aww Colorado. Such a pretty state, isn’t it? It’s one of the fastest growing and admired states for a reason. If you’re an adventurer, a hippie, a ski bum, an outdoor enthusiast, an urbanite or a cowboy - this state has something for you.
To get a complete overall higher level view of the Centennial State, we first need to, as always, break the state down into its various regions.

I've lived in northern Colorado for my whole life and while I appreciate the beauty and mountains n such, it find it to be extremely boring. There isn't much in terms of entertainment unless you have money to spend. And even then water world and elitch's are a chore to get to and be at. Once you've done all the hikes and nature trails there really isn't much to do. I know I'll never be able to ski or snowboard because of the insane tourism traffic in the mountains. And I know once I'm out of my parents house in a year or two (I'm 17) I'll have to leave state to afford anything. Even 1 bedroom apts in most cities here are 1100+. People from other states have truly ruined it. Even small mountain towns are expensive because of the tourism novelty. Camping is really the only thing I enjoy here and that's only realistic for 2-3 months a year

I'm a Colorado native and grew up in Denver. I hate it, I hate it so much. Over my lifetime I've seen this city and state ruined by transplants and our local and state governments completely infiltrated by california and east coast style "progressive" politicians and policies that have created a haven for homeless people and drug sales/use. Denver itself is completely overrun by people, if you like traffic forget LA Denver is for you. Rent has become so high that most natives have either had to adapt or have been priced out of their homes. If you like Hiking or Sking or anything else involving the mountains, forget it because about a million other people have the exact same idea and because of that you have to wait in line and share the outdoors with everyone else making it exactly the opposite of what you want. Before you say, "if you hate it, then why dont you move?" Think about it, where else would I move Kansas? Fuck that. So if you are thinking of moving to Colorado especially Denver, please dont you will only end up HATING it like the rest of us.

I actually think I'm moving to Colorado soon. My job(Safeway) pays $3 more an hour there. That's like an extra grand a month. Don't worry Coloradans, I wont try to change you like where I'm from. I'm from Oregon. No one deserves being changed into that.

[@StallionFernando]

I'm from Oregon as well and looking at Colorado, did you ever go through with it?

[@hmmmhali]

Lived here my entire life, but just lost my job and am moving to Richmond, VA to work there :/ it’s really hard to leave such a beautiful place with great people

[@mtntime1]

, You're not going to like it there. If it isn't too late, call off the move and try to find another job in Colorado. Trust me, you'll regret leaving.

[@kellyjohnson9930]

It’s amazing! I love to travel, but coming home to Colorado is the best part.

[@jonathanielpringlemaniii]

Great video. I really like how you broke up the country with all the different maps. Nice.

Thanks I try!

[@Maleah.mp4]

I definitely agree that Pueblo lacks in a lot of ways but I kinda wish more people could acknowledge some of the good things in Pueblo, because there are still a lot of good people there...I’m from Pueblo born and raised. I don’t live in Pueblo anymore, but I do think there are endearing and interesting things about it...Puebloans are extremely supportive of student athletics, including football rivalries like the Bell Game (longest running rivalry west of the Mississippi River) and the Canon Game. The reservoir is really fun if you like fishing or outdoor sports- a lot of people use the space like a beach of sorts. It also has a growing art scene and we have an established community of hyper-talented creators. Pueblo has some of the best Tex-mex food, period. A lot of famous people have come and spent time in Pueblo, including JFK who made a speech there only a couple of years before his assassination. And a lot of people don’t know this but Pueblo is actually the location of one of the last chemical weapons stockpiles left in the country. Highly-motivated and intelligent professionals have come from the local Pueblo community and from all over the world to support the destruction of the weapons due to an international treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention. It’s a project of major international concern, and a lot of people don’t know how great of an impact that has on the nation’s safety and Pueblo’s economy(check out PEO ACWA on KZbin for more info). And there you have it folks, I’m done with my Pueblo speech for the day lol 😂

[@NickJohnson]

You're great ❤️

[@Maleah.mp4]

Nick Johnson Thank you!😊

Let me move back to Pueblo with you

[@NickatLateNite]

Hey Nick, Lived in Colorado for 20 yrs now... I think it's about time we drag the 'No Vacancies' signs out now & post them on interstates as you enter from another state😅

[@mfaure420]

This is a pretty good video. I moved here for college in 1998 and have never wanted to leave. Even after blowing out my knees so no more skiing. It is a wonderful mix of options. If you like camping or hunting and fishing, lots of options and close states with even more options. If you enjoy quiet mountain town life, it is great for that and many of the towns are not ritzy or expensive as like a Vail or Aspen or Breckenridge. If you are conservative and want a city, you can live in Springs or Pueblo and have some good schools and the Air Force College. If you are liberal then Denver/Boulder will be the place for you, but have some serious cash to spend, at least compared to the rest of Colorado (save the ritzy mountain towns.) Fort Collins gives you a nice mix and everyone can enjoy that city's downtown for sure. Great breweries, lots of sports/activities, absolutely gorgeous views and nice low humidity. Summers used to be great but are getting MUCH hotter quickly. The only downside is the airport is basically located in Kansas.

[@raider8sox]

spent 4 years in Colorado, went to college there, and I must say, I honestly miss Colorado. I'm from California, but I enjoyed my time in Colorado.

[@Unknownz2001]

You ruined our state

[@JasonTaylor-po5xc]

I have lived in many states, I do my best to enjoy each state and area for what it offers. I have to remind myself that sometimes people spend real money to spend their vacation there.

[@drexelmildraff7580]

You know you've been in lockdown too long when you start signing along with Nick Johnson in one of his "original" video songs. I actually now look forward to hearing his latest catchy little ditties. His singing is like that of an all grown up boy band hopeful who failed the audition, but refuses to give up his dream (how can you not be inspired by that?).

[@NickJohnson]

im not a good singer but im a good song writer

[@drexelmildraff7580]

@@NickJohnson You're actually starting to become tuneful. And yes, you are a good lyricist. It cheers me up during the lockdown to hear your songs.

[@jasonmelendez5216]

"Actually pick the prairie" 😆 🤣 I agree there Nick. Pueblo reminded me of the Tucson of Colorado.

[@drowsystag46yearsago5]

I love when people poke fun at newer aged people seemingly taking over and changing everything. It's almost as if change happens because life moves on, I mean, I don't see many complaining about what Colorado was before it became Colorado, right?

You forgot to mention the bears and mountain lions that come in to your home and eat you in your sleep. Happens every day every hr all year long. If you thinking of moving here please beware you'll probably be eating in you sleep by bears and mountain lions. Oh I almost for got it snows 10ft of snow all across the state from October till July so if you don't like the cold you might not wanna move here either. But don't for get when it's not cold bears and mountain lions will eat you while sleeping.

As an European living in Top10 safest country in the world where we have low incarceration, proper gun laws, medicare for everyone, high taxes, good roads, good education (with no loans for young people) and where politics can bend laws and rules every day and still not being held accountable (looking at antics some Republican senators and main orange makes us shake our head in disbelief and then laugh at USA that self-proclaims itself being the best democracy in the world and land of free). I can say Colorado is the brightest and closest to modern society compare to rest of the mess of fanatics on both sides. And let's face it...the nature is one of the most beautiful in entire world

I'm a 4th generation Colorado native. When I was a teenager (50 years ago), people would say "Oh, you're from Colorado; do you ski?" My friends and I would say, "no, I'm a native."

Ok, so your commentary on Pueblo is almost accurate. I have lived here (or surrounding areas) all my life. We are not that bad. Only the bad people. But that’s everywhere you go. Pueblo has an amazing history, and we’re working on our future, for the better. I love you Colorado, the best in the nation! I forgot to mention, your song at the end completely describes my hubby to the T!!

Speaking as a guy who lived in Colorado for a couple years. I don't ski, I don't own a Subaru, and I wasn't high... Well most of the time. It was during my stay that I learned why that little broom is on the end of an ice scraper. The snow was so light and powdery. You can just sweep it off. Definitely NOT here in Kansas, that's for sure!
