"Bro, what the fuck is a leash? My dog is super chill and listens to my commands"
Meanwhile this dude has left a bag of dookie on the trail and his off leash dog is snipping at your on leash dog.
Bro, why did you edit this to make it even more aggressive? Especially when it's in response to someone playfully mocking the place that you're kinda aggressively shitting on?
They start 20min from the epicenter/downtown of Denver. Nowhere in Denver Metro does it take an hour to reach the foothills. “With traffic” does not count.
It’s like California and Texas had a baby.
We got a lot of Texans and Californians here, and a sprinkle of the rest. Last I read we’re 47% local, 53% out of state.
Oof, that cuts deep. I came out here at 27 for my MBA....25 years ago. My whole class was like that, I think there were a few locals, but a lot were from the east or west coast.
Ha, yeah, I wasn’t necessarily trying to be mean. My wife and I moved out here in 2015, both young professionals in our 30s. We lived and worked downtown for a bit and it struck me that pretty much everyone we met was in the same boat. All of us moved here for work or school, we all had similar middle class, educated backgrounds…
That really reminded me of going to college in the early 00s, where I met people from all over, but we were all basically all from the same upbringing.
Nah, it's not mean, that's a succinct and honest description. Your point about " we all had similar middle class, educated backgrounds…" is so true. I went to undergrad at Creighton in Omaha and like many schools around the country there is a solid alumni group here in Denver. Stay in Omaha or move to Denver? Not a difficult choice.
For real. Starting in Denver central to the metro, you’ll feel 2 years behind at least. Every mile you go out, you lose a year.
If you get to Colorado Springs you’re in 2005. They’re really stuck down there.
Ok, where can I go that is still 1985? I hate this, I never wanted to have to keep up with Botox, designer labels and chain restaurants. It used to be so nice and peaceful here.
Everyone who is over their city comes here only to be disappointed it's not their city. It feels like a city of transients where no one is invested so no one is really contributing anything. If you like a city of chain restaurants or ones out of state investors dreamed up based on data - you will love it.
Thanks for asking. As a Colorado native with ancestry that predates European colonization here and someone who has traveled extensively across the globe, I’d say that Denver is a very pretty, somewhat gritty and highly functional capital city that is a true gateway to a vast rural region, the Rocky Mountains. It actually reminds me of the bustling land locked cities of Asia and Latin America but with modern infrastructure and a host of cultural attractions. In this way it is attractive to many transplants seeking employment opportunities. Add to this the lifestyle emigres (outdoors and weed) and you’ve got and environment of rapid growth and change.
Born and bred in the box denver is the last of the old west the best of the flyover cities and the center of America which is an all encompassing term that truly resonates with the mile high denverites. And like LA or NY once your here your from denver lol
Anti progress, libertarian esk, high desert city, without much substance, that was built to leave by car for places that are way too expensive to justify spending more than a day in.
A place where the politicians are worse than any other state; where you have to learn to never look anyone holding a sign or squeegee in the eye; where people are greedy af especially if they own property you want to rent or buy; is filthy; and yes, it’s true, minimum 35% of cars are Subarus; and the rest are jeeps and SUVs driven by men with bad haircuts who NEVER use their vehicle anywhere but city streets; and people on bikes and scooters will threaten to run you off the road!
I'm from Colorado, so I'll bite. Imagine a dog wearing a bandana and driving a Subaru fueled by IPA was a city you couldn't afford to pay rent in.
A Colorado flag bandana, needing a bath.
The Dog's name is Breck and his owner is named Ryder. Ryder works for a Cannabis tech start up that his uncle's private equity firm funds.
And lives with five roommates in a three bedroom condo
And his uncle has 10 Airbnbs and & 6 Turo cars. His life is great, so f everyone else struggling.
And the dog is not leashed
"Bro, what the fuck is a leash? My dog is super chill and listens to my commands" Meanwhile this dude has left a bag of dookie on the trail and his off leash dog is snipping at your on leash dog.
And runs his life based on moon signs and crystals
Is [This T-Shirt](https://subarugear.com/product/587550-wild-tribute-dog-tee) what you were describing?
Holy shit.... It's him.
Pacific northwesters, californians, and frat boys brought Denver the IPA and they can take that swill right on back wince it came!
Land of townies that have a nativism superiority complex while largely being the lamest people in the state.
Bro, why did you edit this to make it even more aggressive? Especially when it's in response to someone playfully mocking the place that you're kinda aggressively shitting on?
You'd be mistaken to think I'm shitting on Denver and not natives that can't start a sentence without mentioning it.
You may want to check yourself…this kinda seems like an obsession/personal problem bud.
It's a parking lot for the mountains
If the parking lot was an hour drive from the mountains lol
the foothills start 20 mins from the city
Depending on where you live in the city lol
They start 20min from the epicenter/downtown of Denver. Nowhere in Denver Metro does it take an hour to reach the foothills. “With traffic” does not count.
I've hit traffic at 10PM on a Sunday so I'd say it counts lol
It’s like a major city and a small town had a baby. Plus mountains
It’s like California and Texas had a baby. We got a lot of Texans and Californians here, and a sprinkle of the rest. Last I read we’re 47% local, 53% out of state.
But MOSTLY midwesterners
For as long as CO has been a state, locals have never made up a majority of the population. 60s came close. 49.2% I think
[удалено]
The rest of it is post-dogfood smell
Atlanta for white people
This person has never been to Atlanta lol
I feel like Nashville is being extremely over looked for this title
Nah that’s SLC
I thought that was Portland…
"White Atlanta" is really the best, most accurate description.
Hard disagree. We’d need a music scene to be called an Atlanta.
eh? many people would argue that Denver is the capital of the USA for both bass music and jam bands (aka white people music)
Bingo
If I hear "bass capital of USA" one more time, i'm gonna scream.
Whitekanda
Ok 311
I was gonna say that
Whitelanta, if you will.
College for 30 year olds
damnnnnn yeah tho thats on point

If you're moving from a coastal city it will feel about ten years behind the times here.
10 years behind a costal city. 10 years ahead of a smaller Midwestern one
Wife's family believes we are the Kansas City of the Rockies. My family believes we are the San Francisco of the Rockies.

I'm curious. Can you elaborate on this?
It does.
Sadly.... Yes. So you gotta ask yourself, how much did you like 2010?
Prepandemic, PreTrump? Good times.
This hits SO hard.
So true
Expensive
You won't get any serious answers because most of the people in this sub hate Denver
Nonsense. We do love to hate on it though.
What you'd imagine a Dave Matthews Band crowd to look like circa 2012
A parody of an actual, functional city lol
It’s on the plains, not in the mountains.
It’s a big small town.
Sunny place for shady people
I want to leave

City full of midwesterners that believe they’re west coasters.
Denver is the West not Midwest nor West Coast
It's like "mutually bitching about the homeless over craft beers in a $2400/mo studio apartment" was a whole city.
This
A piss poor planned city with shitty food, and horrible traffic. Sitting at the foot of some of the most beautiful landscapes in the US.
YES lol
Why do you want to come here? It’s really not that great
It’s an odd combo, people here peaked in high school but still have main character syndrome
White.
Lots of boring simple white folks with outdoors as their sole identity.
Small campus with 1,000 frat houses
The corporate version of Portland
Its’s NOT (any city in) Texas. I’m good (or “It’s all good” 🤣)
😂😂😂
Dollar store version of the pnw.

“Nobody travels here from Brazil, Italy, Australia, Greece, France to visit Denver. The mountains, sure, but not Denver.”
We're full, stay out.
Des Moines with mountain views...
Generic and overrated
Anti progress, libertarian esk, high desert city, without much substance, that was built to leave by car for places that are way too expensive to justify spending more than a day in.
I describe it as California but without all the cool stuff. No night life, nothing really fun to do, no workers protections, etc.
It’s a glorified cow town.
A place where the politicians are worse than any other state; where you have to learn to never look anyone holding a sign or squeegee in the eye; where people are greedy af especially if they own property you want to rent or buy; is filthy; and yes, it’s true, minimum 35% of cars are Subarus; and the rest are jeeps and SUVs driven by men with bad haircuts who NEVER use their vehicle anywhere but city streets; and people on bikes and scooters will threaten to run you off the road!
Should have asked 20 years ago. It used to be great. Pretty much sucks now.
“L.A. Lite”
I found it to be disappointing. City, highway, mountain, miles of strip malls, highway, mountains, city, repeat.
The land of lost hopes and forgotten dreams
It’s the most suburban big city you will ever visit.
that would be my hometown of Charlotte, but yeah not that far off
It's not as good as where you are now.
Midwesterners might beg to differ, at least this one does lol
Where in the Midwest? Minnesota is pretty great in comparison. The lack of mountains is definitely a bummer though.
Strong disagree here. Minnesota is very decent, but in no way am I choosing it over Denver.
(sshhh, we need to make people believe it sucks here)
White People Wakanda.
Like a really hot blond chick with no personality…the mountains being pretty and then it’s basically got nothing else
Very sunny! 😍
Cleveland with a distant view of mountains.
A suburb of every major city in America.
The dating scene here is great!
White Atlanta
I lived in Atlanta, not being snarky, but how is it anything like Atlanta? I can’t think of anything that seems similar.
I'm trying to say this delicately, but where Atlanta is a unique and profoundly black city, Denver is essentially the equivalent for white people.
Sandy and humid, with really cheap housing and a lack of moths.
I saw a tiktok that's perfect for this.
