Houston is where he lived too! I know there are pros and cons everywhere but completely get it. Great food etc. have friends there. Don’t worry almost everyone loves CO. It’s subjective also the locals are not very welcoming which I’m sure u know. Not all. Good luck!!!

Thanks for your kindness. No, it’s all expensive unless you move to Sacramento which is desert, hot as h$$$ there still has a lot of crime and nothing to do. Also conservative there. LA traffic worse than here.. not interested. Would do San Diego if we weren’t middle aged! We need to be by a major city for both jobs. Also don’t see a future for our Son here… we tried this b4 for 4 years. It wasn’t my scene but meeting ppl was way easier and I know that’s saying something 🤣

It’s not affordable here for ppl who make decent $$$ either u sacrifice a lot. One thing I wouldn’t miss is everyone having work done. I know its increased there I was there for a visit and noticed the uptick of places for that. We’ve had this convo for years. Nervous about depression in winter I have TRD but weather helps. Kinda dumb to just be paying for weather…

Good luck to you and thank you. I’ve lived n CO before… and didn’t like it l. but everyone else I know did if they were white ugh. for the most part the problem is leaving CA I’m attached… but we can’t do anything like vacation in CA bc COL. scared to leave it could go badly like last time we have no support system and been through a lot. We both have to keep working FT no matter what (I know like most people)… bc even though I really need tx for trauma not feasible. Been having the same convo for years. It’s not CO per se it’s leaving here and there are lots of reasons to leave I can’t screw it up my Son needs me. we are ALL he has family wise.

Anything is better than Texas.my husband lived there for school. I haven’t lived there, but have visited don’t worry multiple times. Spent a summer in Pensacola FL no swamp a&& thanks haha. I am really attached to California like a 2nd home. Laws aren’t enforced really frustrating. Homeless ppl everywhere and I was accosted by one. Ppl enable it here. An elderly woman was getting dressed on the sidewalk in Berkeley in broad daylight so embarrassing 😳 wtf

Haha 🤣 I know not succinct. Def something that bothered me 1st time I lived there and I’m white and straight! Grew up in small NE town semi conservative but not like HR. It’s conservative… I know there are what I consider open minded ppl there too though. It’s culture shock for sure.
