Lived there in 1979-1980, it was beautiful then and a real cool place to live. Went back for a visit 10 years later and it was an overgrown mess. It reminded me of LA with about the same air quality. Drove through again last year from southern Utah to KC and I was not even interested in stopping.

In the first 20 seconds you say Denver is "Nestled within the beautiful Rocky Mountains." This is false. Denver is next to the mountains, on the plains. It's a 30 minute drive from Denver to the nearest mountains.

Nice to see and hear what's life looks like in this part of US. Best wishes from Serbia/Europe

Denver is home now to me. Been living here since 2009 and can say alot has changed and many locals don't like that. However it brings Denver more recognition than it did before. I like the video and the facts. One thing I have to say is that I see clips of people canoeing in the downtown river. And I highly recommend to NOT do that or swin in that river. It is filthy and the first time I wanted to do that, my friend had to tell me they never done that because the water is dirty. I suggest going to the mountains or Boulder, it was cleaner and more clear the water.

I’ve been living here 17 years hard to believe time has passed by so quickly it’s had its pros being so close to the majestic Rockies and wonderful friends but beyond that we’re over it and ready to sell and go back East, plenty of water and cleaner air 2 things lacking here unless you’re in the mountains. Oh and more affordable living cost in other places. Nice video though.

Born and raised Denver native!

Just for the sake of balance, be sure to watch the RU-vid video about the top 10 reasons people are moving out of Colorado.

50 year native, can't wait to get out of here.

Just to piggyback on the info in this video-Denver is relatively clean and orderly and for a medium sized city. All the streets are paved, there are no really "hood" areas. The mountain views are beautiful when the air is clear. It's a nice place in the way that JC Penney's is nice-clean and simple, a little overpriced for what you get. Access to the mountains and sports are great here , but that better be all you like LOL. The food is bland, the museums are lacking in the depth of the exhibits that come here and variety, and everything is pricey. I think this video is a little misleading; it's not very diverse here at all, and if feels extremely segregated-not in a hateful way like the South, but in a "people stay with their own kind" way. I get out and about a lot and I rarely see blacks and Latino's or Asians participating in "daily life" (I don't see them at museums or in the bars hanging out, etc). It's weird. To also touch on this point, all the minorities I have met while living here (this is South Asians, East Asians, Africans, Latinos, etc) all leave Denver within two years of moving here because they feel invisible. I think that is important to note if you that is important to you. I own a house in Denver and the utilities and taxes are extremely low although I cannot afford to move up into a larger home because housing is outrageous (hence, I'm moving out of state to do so). I also make a decent salary, in which I will attest that if you work hard like you would NEED to do on the West or East coasts (or in Chicago or Dallas) to stay competitive, you will go far in your career here, because most people seem to want to play in the mountains more than put in a few more hours of work to get stuff done. Lot's of opportunity here and really nice salaries in tech and financial-related industries. But just know that if you are a single person making $75,000, you will be relegated to living in an apartment unless you have cash laying around to buy a place. The winters aren't bad since the snow melts a day or two after it falls, and the city is prepared for it. Overall, it's nice, but the air quality is actually pretty bad in the summer and winter due to the geography of the city; it's very isolated so you better like driving hours and hours or flying to other cities, and the people are a little "different" if you are coming from areas in the South where people are easy to get to know-it's not a welcoming place in Denver unless you have a dog, Subaru, or a ski season pass lol

It was nice here! water gone and traffic is horrible. Even camping its like hong kong people inch apart from eachother

This seems to be a very lovely city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!

One con no one ever talks about moving to Colorado is that the altitude severely increased the risk of heart problems in your pets. I wish we had known this before moving to Denver. We lost 2 pets last year due to heart issues and a third was just diagnosed with heart issues. Luckily we are moving to lower altitude before it takes our 3rd pet.

I visited Denver 16 years ago and really liked it . I visited here and there too for the last two years . I moved there from France last year ..stayed there 6 months In Rino. Hated it. It changed alot. Went downhill. Weather seems to only get hotter ..barely any seasons. It's so brown not enough grass or a tree anywhere..Just corporate looking buildings overlooking a wasteland ..and always more of the same being built Always more construction. Every building seems to have same aesthetic inside ...like a warehouse or industrial. Only place with any charm was Latimer Square . Its over populated and the food is terrible. Bad restaurants. Can't count how many times I'd go eat somewhere and food be too salty and just generic and expensive! I have lived in Ventura California which I loved ..has great food. Close to beach and even that was cheaper than Denver . You present so much nature and activities in this video but truth is I don't want to go outside when weather is over 100 °! Was terrible and not enough things to do Aside from this .I visited two zoos ...worse zoos I've ever been to. Most animals also were hiding in shade because heat was so severe. I ended up seeing only like 10 animals that day ..also the zoo wasn't beautiful decorated just average at best. You can visit a million breweries but they all taste the same ..downtown is ugly and the streets in such bad condition. I was bored there and was awful to see the amount of homeless right around the corner of " luxury apartments" which rent costs an arm and a leg. Tent micro cities and drug addicts . Embarrassing to say the least. Never going back there again and I'll never recommend anyone to go there . Denver was the most unfulfilling depressing city I've ever been to

I love living in Vermont and want to stay, but after watching this video, I would really love to live in Denver, Colorado next!

I’m moving to Denver next month!!!!

I love my city, Born and raised. We smoke good, good shrooms however all the people moving here is making it terrible it was a city for familys now we got bum's hanging out on every corner crack heads every time you go to the store u see a new one outside I'm sick of these weirdos but other than that it's fine

Denver does have a “hood”. It’s right around Alameda Street. Cherry Creek is nice, though.

There were a ton of cool bars and restaurants! One thing I didn’t like and I don’t know if it’s just a Denver thing but in one day 5 women did not hold the door open for my husband and one even made eye contact with us before letting the door shut in his face. 😒 I don’t care if your male/female young/old, I hold a door open for everyone. It’s called having class ladies.

I leaved in Denver co on the 80’ for 3 years it was beautiful but got tired looking for a job I left the state and never went back

I miss home way to much. Stuck in west Virginia

Very nicely done! Great POV!

Denver is beautiful!! I would definitely like to visit and see it,but I don’t think I would want to live there. Thanks for another great video!

You should do a video on the twin cities

As someone who has lived in Denver my entire life (28 years), it has definitely gotten worse over the last 10 years. Traffic, crime, cost of living, rent, population, etc. Stay away from central Aurora at all costs! The only nice places in Colorado worth living is the Southlands area and Fort Collins. Love my city but there are far better places

What do you mean by don't expect descent races variety in Denver? When you could not find any white, not Hispanic person like in California or Miami?

I want to live in Denver again ! Lived there from 80-83. Miss it so much.

Homeless encampments and theft at a luxury price. What is there not to love? Restaurants that are not great but charge real city prices. Lovely indeed! No thanks.

Flying into Denver SUCKS!!! They're in the process of building or rebuilding the airport and delays are a norm. Be prepared for major delays!

Denver has gone to hell. I lived there for almost 23 years. Left a year ago. It's overpriced, traffic is horrid, homeless encampments and rampant crime. Do not move there

I need someone help.I get a job opportunity in Denver, and I will be there for 3-3.5 months.So I am interesting about life in Denver.Is it expensive, is it safe city,clean?What about people, are they friendly?

100 homicides last year, up 40% Its a beautiful city but very expensive .

0:07 oh I gotta go here💪🏾

Omg. Used to be beautiful! over development. Ridiculous traffic. Front range is now a cesspool! Walls. Yeah. Build one around front range. 😝😝😝😝

My son is moving to Denver for a job opportunity and we may join him in a year but I live in Austin and do like living here. Only thing is Austin is getting so expensive, over populated, traffic is crazy and lots of homeless people. So sounds like Denver is the same way. Only thing is our summers are like 110 and humid. 🥵

Hipsters, high prices and crime

Lol just been watching Denveloperj on yt and got this video reccomended

Me too

An absolutely disgusting and depressing place. I moved to the mountains in CO and it is 100x better.

Denver Blonde 😀❤

I will tell you what living in Denver is like it's hell traffic homeless cost of living shitty roads only good road is the road leading out of Colorado

Do NOT MOVE HERE the homeless problem is out of control and people ask for money at every gas station ⛽️. Not a place you want to raise a family.

Please don't come here to escape California. We have a bunch of California transplants who brought their politics with them. Now Colorado is turning into another California. Colorado voters recently voted to give the state's Electoral College votes to California.

Crime rate is still small compared to smaller cities like Omaha

Screw Littleton try Arvada Golden and Lakewood

The city of Denver is often enough not prosecuting for murder, severe beatings of residents by the homeless and by immigrants, shoplifting, etc., etc., etc., BUT they’re charging for parking tickets even if you pay the meter and also if just pull right up to the front door of a restaurant to grab your to-go food and pull away all in the span of 15 seconds! You still get a ticket if there’s a parking meter guy culturing close by. The people running this city need to be put away without the possibility of parole.

I love the Tent Cities the democrats made for the homeless, but we need new laws to get Porta Poddies on our streets, especially downtown.

Hawaii is better ocean is needed for health and nature

I want to go to co, I love in NYC my whole life there's too many stalkers and not good family development. I think co is famous for being centered on maturity and geographical realities aren't low budget for people with differences or stoics.

denver is a nightmare if you go there arm yourself well

Denver has NOTHING in common with Seattle.

Insufferably hot in summer 120 F., No shade or cool water for zoo animals. One of the worst cities in the world.

Please stop moving here. The outdoors, quality and cost of life have been destroyed by the incoming people

Sorry but it’s 5% black not 9%

Outside Denver is amazing but I have way too many examples for why you shouldn't move to the city

Their expecting 300,000 immigrants in Colorado in the next 3 months.

Just came from Denver today, its yuck of a place. Woke and left has taken over it seems.. LGBT / Price flag celebration everywhere. Young kids are being deluded... Went there in a hope to get a better place than Chicago, appears here it better than Denver

80% for Biden, it’s not a place for me 😂

Colorado is horrible ... Crowded, polluted, really expensive, crime ridden, homeless everywhere. Especially in Denver avoid. Wyoming is nice. They're not woke there 😁

Liberals, please don't screw up this city. Don't make it like a Californian city

BUCK FIDEN

Slowest. Video. Ever

Yeah no thanks, its a real shithole the last couple of years

Life un Denver is getting worse and worse since it become a blue state.

Well forget that That's all I needed to know You voted for Sleepy Joe

Hey about crime, every religion has its true things; e.g. if you're Christian, Jewish or Muslim you can ask God for the protection of archangel Michael, every day.

Denver has suffered from the Blue Plague. It's ruined.

is it humid like texas?
