Well I posted in the Montana forum so I figured I should post here too. We're in New Mexico currently and looking at moving north, possibly a little bit, possibly a lot. We're researching both states as best we can, but it's always helpful to hear from the people who live there.
What do you think is the best place in Colorado to live? Remember I'm not just asking about gun laws, though those can factor in... I'm talking about quality of living, cost of living, the neighborhood folks, the neighborhood itself. What do you think of where you are in Colorado? Honesty; if you don't like where you are, we'd like to know why before we move there.
Denver is a high dollar city. They wish to be internationally important. They do have a lot of entertainment and real good highways thanks to their ability to take everyone else s highway funds.

My mom grew up in TX and my dad grew up in CA...and I was born here...who am I supposed to hate??:shocker:
Colorado Springs has a huge military and tourist presence, and I can't say I've seen any SERIOUS discrimination to those who aren't native...most here aren't and those here who are, are used to those who aren't....

Some parts of CO are very discriminatory against those who arent CO natives.
There are just enough liberals here to maintain a beautiful and vibrant downtown with plenty of activities.
The only ones from TX I don't care for are the hunters who come up here flashing their dollars to private land owners who used to let residents hunt for free.....
Hmm, I wonder how many WYians say similar about Coloradans.

Wow.... I've lived in Colorado darn near all my life! I ain't heard of any such thing myself in more than 50 years of living here.
That's longer than most folks who hire people have even lived yet!
Never once have I been asked whether I was a native of Colorado on a job application or during an interview; which I consider myself to be as I've made it my home for half a century or better.
I ain't entirely sure such a question would be legal to start with.
Blessings,
Why wouldnt it be a legal question? Its not a race , gender or age specific question.
Besides, when you fill out an application and attach a resume, all of your past geographic information is right there in black and white.
Im sure it doesnt happen all over the state of Colorado, but it is a somewhat well known phenomenon among new CO residents.
Where you were born skirts into non-legal questions, specifically national origin and/or ethnicity. Discrimination against a recent transplant "unfamiliar with the area" is different than discriminating against someone for "not being born here".
Personally, I'd be suspicious of someone potentially overqualified who just moved to the state with a history of moving around.
My thought wouldn't be that they weren't "native", but that they just moved here as their latest stop, are looking for a job to pass the time,.
Even the Wendy's drive-thu employees where I nabbed a few quick meals took my orders in a clear voice, gave me my total, made eye contact, counted out my change, and thanked me as I left and got my order correct to boot. Around here, we're lucky to get a grunt and a glance from our fast food folk. Don't even get me started on their incompetence with getting orders correct.
I just found CO more friendly IMHO. But, I'll admit that was about 13 years ago and just my humble experience(s).
