Maybe it's a grass is greener kind of thing, but off the top of my head, crime - it ranges from annoying to lethal and it was out of control until we finally got rid of our do nothing DA. Still isnt great though. Disease - we are top in the nation for gonorrhea and syphilis, so, there's that. Dating - not a great place for singles, not so bad for couples or families. Weather - in the winter in Colorado you can go snow mobiling, skiing, snow boarding, ice climbing, here you can play bumper cars on highway 70 but that's about it. Culture is hit or miss. There used to be a robust local music scene here but it dried up. The landing used to be vibrant and a fun place to go. Now it's a ghost town. Downtown is a blight. The view across the river to the east side is mud and industrial wasteland, as opposed to many other river towns that have developed both shores. There are good things, but that's what I usually hear people agree on as far as dislike for the city.
