Colorado B/S Thread

Re: The Colorado BS thread

I am 100% serious, no humor in it except for how much of a joke Colorado is. Overpopulated and overpriced.

I lived in Laramie for a bit over a year, it is a college town but enjoyable due to price of living, surrounded by fun outdoors stuff, and weather if you like snow.
Lived in Cheyenne a bit over a year so far. Bigger, still cheap, just older and the downtown area is like a flashback from generations before I was born. Plenty of jobs because a lot of people are lazy.

I love Colorado, but due to the people and price, I will stay up here and drive down to enjoy it when I have time off.
 
Re: The Colorado BS thread

We were originally looking in western Montana. But we just haven't found anything we liked. We like that area of Colorado. But anywhere is better than Indiana at this point.

Im not opposed to Wyoming but what is your travel time from your location to around the Oprah area Colorado? I'm not wanting to work as much anymore we just want to be able to explore and travel at our leasure and the less road time to get there the better.

What type of work you have up in Wyoming? Any industrial or facility automation?

We also don't want big city. We have always been rural. We would like to stay under 1000. 500 would be even better

The median price of a home in Loveland is $400k+, Fort Collins is even more. Boulder is $1,050,000.

My daughter bought a real rough 800 sq ft fixer upper part of a duplex in Loveland for $155,000.

I've been in my Loveland home 1 year and it has gone up $50k+.

I say this to give you an idea of the cost. If you can find a home to rent, even the cheapest will be $1500 in Loveland.

Yes you need $100k to live, and those jobs are few and far between.

Lol...100k to live I remember Obama saying if you made $50K you were well off ...lol... Now who do I believe you or Obama ?

We are not to much looking for those types of area where the prices are outrages. That's a bummer.

Looks like we will have to look around and try to find a cheaper place then, Wyoming may not be to bad after all. Possibly Utah I hear is nice. between Moab and the mountains couldn't ask for more.
 
Re: The Colorado BS thread

Why not make a road trip thru co and see what you like? There's a lot of small mountain towns that might still be cheap to live in. Sounds like creede might be exactly what you want, tho I've never been there. Pop. Is like 750.
 
Re: The Colorado BS thread

The problem with small mountain towns is that there aren't any jobs within an hour commute in most cases.

Wyoming followed the oil boom and now with the bust, there are lots of people looking for a job.......any job. Northern Colorado, especially Greeley, is in pretty much the same boat. I don't see how the home prices keep going up.

Yup, that's exactly what the plan is. Just wanted to get a feel from the "locals" and see what the real deal is.

Meeting and talking to local people will tell you more about an area then any time spent on the road there.

Once we sell our house its going to be a long road trip. We will end up somewhere. Like a year long overland adventure.

Sounds like its a real hippy joint now days

From all my research people from California and the like enjoy the area for vacation homes and so on. So move in a few millionaires and boom all prices go up because more will follow suit. But I don't know. Don't live there.

an hour commute just brings a guy down. if it wasn't for damn Obamacare id just get a part time gig

Yup I agree with this. The best part is come winter, we get to listen to them complain how cold it is and how they thought it didn't snow here...
