Yes. It’s consistently listed as one of the best places in the US to live.
Yep, I definitely don’t agree with the masses.

OK here is a question...what's the most over rated city in CO? By City I mean anywhere really.
Is it Telluride?
Well, you also think all of Colorado is a giant suburb, so your opinion is not exactly what we’d describe as well informed.Yep, I definitely don’t agree with the masses.
Definitely not Telluride. That’s one of the coolest places in the state. I’ve actually never been to Aspen so can’t say. Vail definitely seems a good answer as others have mentioned.OK here is a question...what's the most over rated city in CO? By City I mean anywhere really.

I recall you posting before that you've never been to Aspen, and also seem to remember you're a Colorado native.Definitely not Telluride. That’s one of the coolest places in the state. I’ve actually never been to Aspen so can’t say. Vail definitely seems a good answer as others have mentioned.

And you don't seem like an idiot, and you travel.
I don't get it, man. Aspen is probably my favorite Coloado city. People literally travel from all over the world to visit the area. The summertime drive across Indy Pass is an amazing journey. I figuratively want my ashes scattered at the Maroon Bells. And the Belly Up is a really, really cool small music venue.
**** man, you're shorting yourself here. Now I want to go back.

I really hated my 80 minute, 20 mile drive home tonight from downtown. Traffic has definitely gotten ****ty. I lived through T-Rex and the disaster traffic that project wrought. It is back to where it was before that multi-year project started already.Somewhat on the same page as Buffrocks that CO is losing its appeal but for different reasons. This is a great state on so many levels but the traffic/crowds up in the mountains are wearing me down. I really hate I70 west of Golden.
This, please!! I could add quite a few other states to that list too.Very hickish. It sucks. Tell all your Californian friends.
Does one of them rhyme with 'Bexas'?This, please!! I could add quite a few other states to that list too.
Oh yeah, that's definitely one of them.Does one of them rhyme with 'Bexas'?
That being said, I lived in LA for 5 years before coming to Denver. A few moments recalling that horror show has me realizing it could be better, but it is far from the worst.
It took me 1 1/2 hours to make an under 15 mile drive tonight in the Seattle area - no accidents or weather, just an average to good night. I will never again complain about Colorado metro traffic. Areas that need to be improved, sure, but what we consider “bad” would be light traffic in other popular, high-growth, metros.Somewhat on the same page as Buffrocks that CO is losing its appeal but for different reasons.

I don't mind the metro traffic nearly as much. It's a city, I get it- there's gonna be traffic and I think Denver is pretty average as far as city traffic goes. However, I do frequent the mountains a lot tho- and unfortunately much of the commuting requires dealing with the i70 sh!tshow. Hell, I think 285 is getting bad too. Not only that.. but if you're not proactive enough, trailheads are often full, the good fishing spots are taken, ski lift lines are outta the maze, first tracks gone before your second lap, camping spots are overcrowded, etc. The list goes on but that is the reality of many of the closer outdoor rec destinations to Denver. Sure, if you're willing to drive several more hours to the SJs or the Winds, you can avoid many of these issues, but it's just not feasible to do this every weekend. It's tiring.It took me 1 1/2 hours to make an under 15 mile drive tonight in the Seattle area - no accidents or weather, just an average to good night.

You still have all your hair? I know I wouldn't. As far as high-growth metros, no thanks, they can have them.It took me 1 1/2 hours to make an under 15 mile drive tonight in the Seattle area - no accidents or weather, just an average to good night.

Estes Park.OK here is a question...what's the most over rated city in CO? By City I mean anywhere really.

Estes Park.
It’s way more than that. That store was an annoyance, but not the reason to dislike Estes Park. Estes is just not that great.****er fan telling everybody how great that little town was because they had their little cult store up there.

Needed to bump this. I found some joy this week in the snow, I saw a Nissan Z stuck in a snow bank, license plate: Florida. Saw some Texas plates stuck elsewhere, with each one I got a good chuckle.
Welcome to Colorful Colorado you ****ing assholes! Feel free to go home whenever.

Welcome to Colorful Colorado you ****ing assholes! Feel free to go home whenever.
Ya’ll touching on what has made me start to have this negative attitude towards Colorado. So much traffic. The assholes from California think every road is 105 and will cut across 5 lanes to cut people off. The dip ****s from ****ing California who drive 26 in 65 because the roads are wet, today is that day. The mountains drive has gotten ruined, I used to love going to but it’s SUCH a hassle anymore I haven’t gone to the mountains or camping in years.
Fixed. Texans are smart enough to not drive in this kind of weather..........You just want to move to Laguna BTW
