>how pristine and beautiful it really is here. The Keep talking like that on the internet and it will rapidly take a turn for the worse. Colorado used to be a lot like Idaho then it achieved a "brand image" as a vacation spot, after about a generation of people retiring to their vacation spot and people moving there because they can and the state is in a tailspin (being an early adopter on weed probably didn't help but that's beside the point). Now the cost of living is skyrocketing and Denver/Boulder seem to be hell bent on recreating all the bad (bad for people who aren't wealthy, that is) decisions of a certain west coast state. Economy, people, natural environment, no place can be highly favorable to all three. You can make big bucks and enjoy nature all you want in CA but the rest of your life will be a rat race. You can live a nice life and make good money in some places on the east coast but god help you if you want to get outdoors once in awhile. There are still many highly rural states where you can enjoy nature and have a nice life but you won't be making big bucks there. |

This is the net result of asset inflation. The North East and California got rich via big-bank (Federal Reserve and Wall St) driven asset inflation. People are logically cashing out and moving to lower cost of living areas.
