Denver sucks -- the people are rude, selfish, Stepford people, lazy, spiteful, non-helpful jerks. There's nothing to do here -- culture zero. It's the land of the chain restaurants. Even worse are the creeps that live in Douglas County. It's hell on earth except for shallow, empty, selfish takers who love to ski. East coast natives will want to put a gun to their heads living here.
I hate Denver and can't wait to leave -- boring city, no nightlife, weird, socially retarded people, nothing to do! I am an outgoing, friendly person and I hate this city!
Denver was nice thirty years ago, but I recently visited and was disgusted by the way they have massacred the country side with cookie-cutter condos to accommodate all of the transplants from California who have brought their own way of doing things. My parents and brother have moved back out there (from greater Boston). The people are very different from the traditional values I am used to. It's too bad. I liked it there before all of California moved there and ruined it for all the locals and others from other areas of the country looking for a better life and to escape exactly what Colorado has become.
I've lived here all of my life and I should've left years and years ago. Most people who hate Denver are right about the people. No wonder I was bullied in high school. Now that I'm older, I'm dealing with self-serving, unfriendly snobs everywhere. As long as I've lived here, I've always had trouble making friends. It seems if you don't fit in you're out of luck.
Denver is amazing! there is so much to do here if you try and look. It is no New York or L.A. so if you are looking for the really big city it's not here. The night life is great downtown, you can walk to all the bars. Everyone from Colorado is really friendly, it is a really clean city and if you know how to get around you can avoid all traffic, which is only in the morning or evening. I love it and am going to move here! Also the skiing is amazing and the mountains aren't in the city you have to drive to them so if you drive on the weekend there is a good chance you will hit traffic -- leave early or late to avoid it.
I love Denver so much. I visited my first time this summer with my uncle. There is so much to see and do! I would recommend at least seeing Rock Ridge Trail or Pike's Peak. The Garden of the Gods was a nice park. Casa Bonita is a fun place to eat. Bring the kids! Really there was nothing I didn't like. I'm going again and staying for a month -- can't hardly wait!
