CALLING ALL PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN COLORADO, including natives and non-natives. 😂

I’ve been considering moving to Colorado. There’s just something deep within me that’s being drawn to that state lol. Haven’t decided on a specific area yet though, kind of need help in that department. I’ve been looking at Colorado Springs, Denver, and Boulder but can’t come to a conclusion.

Looking for some input from local Colorado folks.

What cities/areas would you recommend living in (or conversely, avoiding altogether)?

Is the weather intolerable?

What should I know before moving?

What should I know about CO in general?

Give me the good, the bad, and the ugly. Be honest with me so I can decide if this is the right move for me or not lmao.

I’m doing my own research but it’s nice to get input from actual people and not weird articles.

If it matters at all, I’m from California. I grew up in a small farming town where everyone knows everyone, and I’m ready to stretch my legs and get the hell out of dodge. 😬
