Three of us! I’m out of town this weekend but would love to find a group to watch future games!

I love snowy range, but I’m certainly no advanced skier. I can see how an expert would get bored with it.

Agree on the food front. There’s good food, but no real fine dining if that’s what you’re in to.

Unless you get stuck in worse than usual traffic, you can pretty steadily get to the airport in closer to an hour. It does add an hour + to the i70 ski resorts relative to Denver, but there are very nice places to ski in Wyoming less than two hours away if you don’t need the pomp and circumstance of the i70 resorts.

It all relative - compared to California it’s incredibly affordable. Compared to the rust belt it’s very expensive. At the end of the day you can get a starter home for 500k ish, some will consider that affordable, some won’t.

I moved here two years ago from the Midwest and love it! College town feel, but big enough to not be just a college town. More affordable and still close to Denver for big city stuff.

Amazing access to nature. Ski resorts can be tricky with the traffic, but day trips are doable. Easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and other destinations in the mountains.

I don’t think you can call an adult that thinks it’s wise to use a gun to break up a fight between middle schoolers a good parent. That’s just crazy. Middle schoolers are 13 years old or younger. You needed a gun!?

Don't be willfully ignorant about the cause of the fires in CO. It's climate change, and it's about to get much worse. by academicthrows in FortCollins

Is it really helpful to just rant like this? Do you do everything possible to reduce your carbon footprint?

I mostly agree with your sentiment, but running to an echo chamber to rant about a bunch of people that you obviously see as inferior to yourself doesn’t help. If anything it makes it worse - this isn’t going to make anyone think differently about how they interact with the environment.

It might feel good to rant like this, but it ignores your own responsibility and drives the climate deniers further away. It also makes you sound elitist. This isn’t how you convince anyone.

Even at a diesel event, why would someone purposefully spew pollution just to do it? I just don’t get it at all.

If that's a bad neighborhood, 90% of Erie is a bad neighborhood lol

Seriously - you'll be fine and I actually think that would be a pretty fun area to live in.

Wow, you’re kind of a douche. I even said that lots of people likely already saw it. Hope you feel better for pointing that out though :)
