It's more mountainous, it's greener, more trees, easy access to get to the mountains, etc. I spent alot of time in denver and I still like arvada/wheat ridge the best. You can be out of the city or downtown in less than 20 minutes.

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.

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.

nothing like planning to move a city and seeing natives spewing about why I shouldn’t. It’s honestly motivating.

[@jrmulroney]

Damn, it is not that bad.

[@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.

[@forsakenovercast0067]

I've lived in CO for a little while and the only thing I think you got wrong is that Breckenridge is kind of a small ski town, it's becoming insanely popular and is on the more expensive side of ski resorts in that area. I loved the whole video though!!

Lived in Colorado between 2000 and 2005. Loved all the outdoor activity and sunshine. Back then there were grumblings about all the Californian moving in and changing politics, so it seems that came true.

[@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.

[@stephaniesihpol8553]

Colorado was the greatest state to live in for us. Operative word is WAS- now it’s turning into a mini CA which is why the home prices have skyrocketed.

[@noblegirl1991]

I love Colorado. Denver in particular

[@odoggymnasts3703]

I love my state Colorado, and everyone does not drive a Subaru, or get high. As I’m growing up in this state it suck because every where you go there are stupid out of state people ( California, Texas, Wyoming, Utah, etc) and that makes my family and I mad because we can’t even in joy are cabin up in the mountains, or go camping, or go fish on a river. I also love are sports, Broncos, Rockies, Avalanche, Nuggets, the Rapids, and so on and the rodeos only come around once a year so it is a big thing. I love my state and I’m Proud To Be A COLORADO NATIVE

[@ufosrus]

Well you better get used to the idea that your state is getting people from other states and that's a reality everywhere.

[@hackonefouryou]

Please do a whole video on Pueblo. It's actually nice.

[@susanvaughan4210]

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."

I fully understand You

[@Arissa4ever]

Lmao! Denver native here 2nd generation. I def cosign this.

[@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?

[@shawnkramer37]

You forgot South Park and weed stores. Also Stephen King wrote the friggin’ Shinning here based on the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Red-friggin’-rum! I lived in Boulder for 24 years (worked near the Mork and Mindy house), and now in snowless Thailand.

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.

[@boomerantics9586]

You forgot to mention the gun crazy hayseeds that hunt out-of-towners for sport (and food), the avalanches that claim millions of lives every year and that 95% of visitors expire due to hypoxia.

I live in Colorado Springs. Most the video sounds about right. I do ski, own a Subaru, and eat granola for breakfast. Sports Authority went out of business several years ago, we have Dicks and REI, Bass Pro, and they are building a new Scheels store in the Springs, opening this summer I think. Lake Pueblo is awesome, I do kayaking in offseason when I'm not skiing.

[@bonezbaaaby]

Tried watching a different video on Colorado and couldn't. Nick and Mappy, I HAVE to watch YOUR VIDEOS now when listening to pros and cons. Everyone else is annoying boring mundane. 👏 Keep up the good work

And yes I've skied since 11, drive a Subaru, don't forget edibles 😅 I live in the Springs now it's growing like crazy but I'm a military family so.... I'll be here forever. I'm a vegan so didn't know about the cattle Ewwww. Love your channel dude! X

Hey! You sound like you live in heaven! Lucky! ❤️

[@powerwagon3731]

My family has been in Colorado for about 100 years but so what (nobody cares) ! I live in a small mountain town about 3 hours from Denver and I love it here. There’s so much to do outdoors like ... well you know the drill. The pluses are sunshine, low property taxes, great economy, green chili and we even have a drive in theater and it’s open! Negatives are cost of living, ski traffic, windy, extreme UV rays and not enough rain. I try to avoid Denver except for the airport and Colorado Springs is much less crowded when I need city services. Say hey to Mappy, maybe we could hangout one day?

[@NickJohnson]

Mappy says sure and are you buying tacos

[@johnralph7307]

So I was planning on moving soon. Denver is very high up on the list on cities I would love to move to. I keep weather as a consideration. So how is the weather in Denver? Specifically the winter. Does it every get below 0 degrees? How much snow? Average snow days for schools per year? ect. Thank you!

[@NickJohnson]

[@garybeckman71]

Yes, it certainly does get below zero during the day but generally only for a few days each winter. It does get below zero at night for many more days. If you park outside your car will feel like sitting in a block of ice until it heats up. Even so, it doesn't feel nearly as cold as you might think because the air is so dry. It could be twenty degrees out but if it's sunny it will seem downright toasty. The sun reflecting on fresh snow is blindingly bright and impressively beautiful.
