    I left Denver for Fargo back in August. I have always loved Denver, but after my car was attempted stolen twice in the last year alone, I took it as a sign to leave. North Dakota gets bitter cold in the winter, but life is easier(imo) and much more reasonably priced here.

    I lived in Denver in the early 2000's. There were tons of homeless folks living there even then. Mainly they lived in the downtown Denver area. My understanding from friends still living there is it's gotten worse and worse. Denver was a beautiful place and it would be a shame if it turned into San Francisco, Portland, LA and other cities who's politicians do nothing to address and correct the issues. The southern border situation is a shit show and it was during the last administration too. Our politicians in Washington are a joke no matter what side of the isle you're on. They are all self serving, corrupt, useless douche bags. I'm all for immigration if it's done legally. But to let floods of people in because we can't lock the border down is insanity. Cities and governments need to get much tougher on these issues that are ruining so many cities and states...The only way to fix this issue is to vote out these useless politicians.

    I live in denver. Your facts are spot on. Thank you for the video.
  • I was born in Colorado and spent majority of life in Denver. Moved to Melbourne Florida 4 years ago and here i am watching both your videos! Melbourne is so nice and quiet compared.
  • If Denver is not careful, it's going to end up being the next Portland. I went there in May of last year and all you smell is clouds of dope smoke everywhere you go and if you're sensitive to it and you get migraines, it's a real pain in the ass.
  • @MattRead-ib5vo
    You have an incredibly soothing voice. I look forward to your videos. Thank you for all your hard work:)

    Colorado native of 40yrs. My family and I are leaving and moving to South Carolina in a few months. Can not wait to get out of here. I’ll always have the memories of what once was an amazing place to live.
  • Colorado has an interesting future and I don't know if Fort Collins and Colorado Springs can save it
  • @Mum42morrow
    It's all over Colorado not just Denver, it is the worst.....but it's everywhere!!!!
  • @itskyb
    We left the Denver area in 2015. No regrets.
  • @AdamSmith-gs2dv
    Never really understood the fascination with Denver, its a boring midwest plains city with a mountain backdrop
  • @bobbullethalf
    Having visited Denver in the past, I can attest to the insanity of the city and surrounding areas. It is truly becoming lawless, with open air drug use and migrants flooding the city they are setting themselves up for something terrible this spring and summer, and probably beyond.
  • @kire115
    Had lived in Denver metro since 2007 and city of Denver in newer section on the northeast side since 2015. Denver is an s-hole city and that’s on the city policy makers and leadership. Sold the house and moved back to my sensible Midwest state and city 2 months ago. Much much better. The ominous music during the drive bys later in the video 😂 fitting.

    Miles and miles of bike lanes, but not one single bike rider.
  • @TheLakeJake3
    Still tons of traffic lol seriously though it looks worse everyday here. The migrants in parking lots is very real sadly and spreading deep to every Walmart near Denver even in Littleton for example
