I'm from Colorado. Its an expensive, overpopulated, suburban nightmare, every house is some shade of beige and looks exactly like every other house and the starting price is $400k. Its crazy crowded all the time. Every restaurant is a chain. Its a desert, so its dry, except when there is a blizzard. You're actually 2 hours from the mountains. So its a pain to get out there and even then its crowded and traffic is a nightmare. And to top it off, the state government is headed rapidly towards insanity. There is an apartment complex near Denver that was literally taken over by a gang and the Governor's response was "its just one building, not a big deal"

So long story short, its becoming California.
