To live there is another matter. It's terribly remote, I personally found the people of Denver to be utterly hateful (the most unctious, disgusting, backstabbing yuppies imaginable mixed with violent black and Mexican-American "cultures" mixed with trailer trash whites), Boulder even moreso (this is why liberals are universally hated), but some relief in the burbs where one finds Denverites who actually grew up in Colorado (and the townspeople outside Denver are great). It is of course unbelieveably spectacular, which is a damn shame of a waste of nature.
