It's just not...Absolutely, Boulder is not bad. It's just not as good as it used to be and nobody likes to feel a decrease in their quality of life. And I don't think I'm stuck here so I figure why stay somewhere that is super expensive when I can move somewhere better that is not anywhere near as expensive? And it's only getting worse, not just here but the whole Front Range (ie Denver, Fort Collins and surrounding suburbs). Traffic, air pollution, Too Many People on the trails, etc.<br /><br />I love Ogden, Utah where they have Xterra Nationals but the air quality and sprawl are terrible, all the way to Salt Lake City. Park City is supposedly o.k. for air quality but it's an expensive ski town. There are areas around it that are cheaper, I have a friend in Heber City and she loves it, but those areas look kinda expensive as well though we might check them out, definitely on our list.<br /><br />New Mexico is very desert-ey and I don't care for the desert. I love to visit it but don't want to live in it, especially in summer, it's way too hot. There's also more crime and drugs in NM. I went hiking outside of Albuquerque once and the trailhead was littered with trash and maybe even needles? Can't exactly remember. Areas of NM are nice but I love Colorado.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-8168781554915167242016-02-04T09:53:11.638-07:002016-02-04T09:53:11.638-07:00Nice pictures!

I have heard a lot of people complaining about how Boulder changed over the years; it's a sad thing, but it happens everywhere. Though I wouldn't have thought that it'd be that "bad" in Boulder. Have you thought about crossing the border, NM or Utah have equally great spots for our kind of outdoor people, don't they?Ruwen.NGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682473301965649441noreply@blogger.com
