On the public transit side, i'd add that i drive much less here than other cities I've lived in, not because of public transit but because it's a fairly good city for biking. Biking + Bus gets me to Boulder for work two days a week and saves me lots of gas money. So the transit is viable but definitely not convenient. Some places i've lived transit is a last resort, here it is an option.

Hey Dave! This video is great! I live in Denver and 100% agree with you!

Awesome video! The weather swings are one of my favorite parts of living here! And the Colorado pride! I think it has to do with the CO flag being one of the coolest state flags 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

If you didn’t grow up here, and expect anything more than, a fairly large town with many benefits, but a lot of downfalls: Terrible roads, huge traffic issues, a massive homeless population, and many other downfalls. The freeways are designed for mid 60s traffic. The problem with that is, they don’t have the money to resurface the streets and freeways every .2 or three years because of the freeze-thaw cycles

Thinking about moving there one day from Texas for my health. I have fibromyalgia and there is no cure only symptomatic treatments even then those are still close to improve to treat. Our trip tomorrow is a test to see how I feel (MJ free and MJ instead of rx meds) to see if the altitude and weather will help. Phoenix, Vegas and LA are the others. Love that this is a dog city because I'm both an animal and empath. Brian however it's not even an animal person. But we are ready to start the next chapter of our lives and is supportive of uprooting from Dallas if it means my health will improve. I'm a night waking person. But we are court folks so cars for transport is a check. Also we are foodies too. But yes gas and the standard cost of living matters. Thanks for mentioning the tolls on the highway in your other video too. Texas weather settings are pretty effed too. But I love it as long as it's not rain. Because of rheumatological reasons. Also love that healthcare and alternative therapies and therapists are available. I've put all your videos on a playlist for my bf to watch while we fly. Thank you for being such a wonderful person and favorite Denver personality! Lily

I moved to a suburb outside of Denver in the summer of 2020 from NYC. Rent used to be affordable but I’d still say it’s expensive for the amenities that Denver has to offer which is like next to nothing. Downtown Denver shuts down at 9pm the food sucks in Colorado. You need a car in Denver transit is a joke. There’s usually atleast 2-3 wild fires of various size throughout spring and summer. Water is becoming a problem they’re starting to put in water restrictions. Hail damage is real. Colorado is land locked so seafood sucks. There are very few lakes in Colorado and most “lakes” are really man made reservoirs disguised as lakes. Denver is in the top 3 for car thefts in the country. There’s a growing homeless problem tent cities are popping up. Oh also last week they announced a property tax reassessment 33% was the lowest and 47% was the highest 😂😂😂😂 because of the increasing home values. If you live anywhere where wild fires are prevalent you might have issues getting home owners insurance. I would say that this video does not adequately portray most of the cons of moving to Denver.

Been a Denver native my whole life. Colorado born and raised and Denver has taken a serious decline the past 15 years. New developments everywhere which wouldn’t be a bad thing if we also didn’t have a huge influx of crime, drugs, pollution, traffic, high cost of living, and just the overall “mood” of the city has decline. When I was kid in the 90’s Denver had a “friendly quiet” vibe and feel to it. Yah we had our areas with crime here and there but overall there wasn’t much to worry about. Nowadays the city is full of the rudest, most selfish people imaginable. Thugs everywhere, drug addicts everywhere, alcoholics everywhere, homeless everywhere. I’m so disappointed and sad as to what Denver has become.

for the pop culture section, denver is a huge city for edm music

Hi Dave, I've been watching your videos a bit. I used to live in Denver a few years back and now plan on moving back to the city. I'll be moving to the downtown area and wont have a car. However, I plan to work in the downtown area as well just a few minutes walk away. If anything I've been considered an e-bicycle or scooter. I've read on reddit that it's quite doable to live without a car in Denver. What are your thoughts for someone who'd be living downtown?

Don't forget Denver gives that rental rebate split up quarterly. I there's another big check you can get living poor in Denver but I forget what its called. Also we may have a HUGE homeless population but we also have a bunch of new apartment buildings and more on the way . Sadly these apartments are only a third full because so expensive here. TURN THEM INTO LOW INCOME SO WE CAN GET OFF THE STREETS.

Worst move ever! Miss Virginia. Co on tap to be california 2.0

Reason NOT, too expensive end off story!

I see the same comments on all these videos from people who hate that Californians are moving to their state While I’m someone who was born and raised in SoCal; I’ve witness the disgusting mismanagement of California first hand. The irony in people complaining about California people moving into their state while California was literally one of the biggest transplant states in the country for decades. People from the east coast and Midwest flocked to California for years. A more appropriate comment would be “we can’t stand people who flee their state bc they hate the way it’s run, only to bring their same political views with them.”

There is a university in Denver that tricked me to come here 💔

Great point on needing a car. As the old joke goes, RTD stands for Reason To Drive.

You forgot to mention the untrained dogs that jump on strangers and all the dog 💩 everywhere 🤦‍♀️
