As someone who moved to Denver from DC 5 years ago, I couldn’t disagree more.
People are nice in Denver. Try new circles, maybe?
Yea, probably not hipster enough.
Interesting, I think people are pretty pleasant here 😬
Almost No one “from” Denver or CO lives in ballpark.
It's because we're tired of interacting with Texans
EY2, the country and the world as a whole have changed a whole lot in the last 20 years. The issues driving political campaigns are much different from 20 years ago. What people care about and want today is much different from 20 years ago. The two parties are also very different today vs 20 years ago. Of course it is easy to just blame every change in CO on transplants from California or other states. But other than creating hate and tension, it is not taking anything anywhere, and def not making anything better. The state will continue to grow. People will continue to move wherever they want. It is part of the capitalism and freedom people have. It is about how to embrace everyone and make this place better together. And the solution is not “we are full” or “CO native” stickers.
Tell me you have never spent time on the Midwest or South … 🤣
People in Denver aren’t cold, they just aren’t passive aggressive like a good section of the flyover states. No time for that fake BS here. It’s one of the reasons I love Denver. The people here are real.
Tell me you're naive without telling me you're naive. Stop the 🧢
Colorado is made up of a bunch of small towns that grew together with influx of new-comers to Colorado. Colorado has long been a boom and bust place - geographically, economically and socially - thats a fact if you're a native here you know this. Frankly many/some natives feel resentful about encroachment on their lands and communities. Yep its been a wild ride of almost immeasurable growth here in Colorado - some growthbis good however it has caused misunderstandings; human misunderstanding. Fact is: everyone who lives here and plays here has a responsibility to keep Colorado lands, wildlife and resources protected...meaning it's takes a community of people to teach others -mentor and be stewards- to be responsible when being here. Colorado is a different place - so is Illinois and Georgia. It's not about what you HATE about a place. It's really about the ROLE you want to BE in enhabiting a place - any place. Think about what you gain when you work at understanding the priorities of living and life anywhere you live, and what do you want to be responsible for? Seriously hating Texans or California's or even Colorado isn't the point! Sustainable life is - all human, plant and animal life is qualifiable as important; folks in Colorado take their communities seriously and the growth here is staggering. Remember: in Colorado we dont have concession stands on Mt Evans for a reason ; ) Be open to possibilities and understanding/learning "why" because you will enjoy your "journey" sooo much better. Natives just because someone isn't raised here doesn't mean they are bad or dont care. Let's do better about being neighbors instead of enemies. Signed: 30 year native from Detroit MI.
Coming from Louisiana, where people are genuinely warm and friendly, it’s noticeable. Unless you know them, you’re in their way. Problem is, how do I get to know ya if you’re cold and unfriendly in the first place.
Places like Louisiana, or “shitholes,” as some of the more elitist “natives” of Colorado would call, are yea, objectively shittier places to live - we don’t have mountains or nice weather, and we’re second to last in all metrics of quality of life (thank god for mississippi).
Instead, all we have is each other, excellent food, and Mardi Gras. That’s how we make the best of it.
Sometimes I think that if I was born and raised around some of the most beautiful scenery, and spoiled with higher quality of life, I might also take those around me for granted.
I’m with you. It’s a vibe here. Wanting to move after doing my time here and realizing this isn’t for me.
Been here a few months and people are super friendly and nice.
Hahaha hilarious and spot on
Colorado Native here… and I definitely agree; Coloradans are not the friendliest to folks they don’t know.
I moved from Chicago 2 years ago and think most people are pretty friendly. Sure there are some that don’t come off warm and fuzzy but most people are nice and chill. Have met what has now become very close friends at confluence park just hanging out on a Saturday. I could name so many other cities where pretentiousness and arrogance are the vibe.
Because we’re sick of you people moving here and trashing the place (literally) and changing things to make it more like the sh!those you came from.
Just moved from Florida myself and I think the majority of the nice people I interact with are transplants themselves. Many moving from Texas or Midwest and are open to meeting new people or just being chill.
Nah not even close, try the PNW. Half the Midwest is here and they are some of the nicest people.
Seems to be the blue haired types that I get the bad vibes from. Many of those out in the PNW, so makes sense.
TOTALLY dude. Denver people always act like you’re a nuisance for being around in any capacity.
I've lived in major cities all over the world. Denverites are by far the friendliest and least fake people around, and I've found it really easy to make friends.
Nice fake sympathy. People in Denver and particularly from Denver are mostly welcoming.
People who move here and start bitching about how Denver isn’t like where they just came from are super annoying. If you wanted shit just like where you were before feel free to go the fuck home and talk about your prestigious careers and who can get reservations to Nobu or the French Laundry until you’re blue in the face.
There’s definitely an unwelcoming vibe emanating from the crowd boasting that they’re native Coloradans. I’m a Chicago transplant, been here 5 years, and if you’re not aggressively into outdoor activities and fit - the welcome is tepid at best. When I first arrived, I was fluffy (the total opposite of fit), and prone to panting and sweating as my body learned to acclimate to the altitude. If I wasn’t invisible, I was faced with blatant irritation that I was taking more space than they felt strictly necessary.
I’m from a small town, so when I moved here, they did seem colder and less friendly, but not too bad. Been here 10+ years. Maybe I’ve acclimated, but doesn’t seem bad to me.
I don’t live there currently, but I have family in the surrounding cities and towns. Honestly I joined this group to decide if I actually want to move out there permanently. Went to a wedding in the Black Forest region, and found the people to be very unwelcoming, but I see now it might be a wider issue geographically than I imagined.
Bk Forest? That’s horse country- Everyone knows each other
Denver used to be an affordable manageable city. People used to be happy. Tens of thousands of transplants came in and shoved themselves into every nook and cranny of the city. You can’t enjoys colorado anymore because of them. The traffic, the litter, the long lines at stores, the inability to get ski passes or find a fishing or camping spot, the crowds, and the cost of living brought on by the hoards of transplants turned us bitter. We where born and raised here but can no longer enjoy the beauty. Our special family campsite is now a party spot with beer cans and loud music. My favorite fishing hole is now shoulder to shoulder with 100 other people. My favorite ski resort is now a 6 hour wait in traffic. Can barely afford to live in the same area I’ve been living comfortably my whole life. The Californians, Texans and Floridians took everything from us and we are now bitter as a result
Fortunately, in the United States, people have freedom to move and live in wherever they want, regardless of where they were born. You cannot do that in China. Also, population has been growing globally and in the US, so everywhere is getting more crowded.
