i played league of legends with him when he was a representative as part of his outreach to constituents. he has taken a hard billionaire turn as his net worth is approaching 0.5 billion. it is actually really sickening seeing him change like this, i used to be the biggest fan of Gay Nerd Governor.
Colorado has effectively become a joke of a state where there are only two groups of people: peons who live here at the behest of major companies in workforce housing, and people who can afford a $1M minimum for starter homes in the middle of nowhere. Even in bedroom communities and small towns without real stores or services nearby, little bungalows go for $1M and vacant quarter acre lots go for $200k.
Sad as it may be, Colorado’s governor has no point in being a man of the people. There arent really normal people left here to be a champion of anyways. Except maybe some of the plains towns where they will hate the governor for not making this place identical to Texas anyways
I love being a resident of such a beautiful state, but its just a fools errand to think you will be here long term if you are a normal person on a less than 6 figure income
This makes me sad, from someone who was planning to move to your state.
no clue what this dude is talking about, recommends Kansas over Colorado? As someone who has lived in both states, Kansas can go die in a fire.
I know people who live there and I remember guy bragging and begging me to move to the area because he had no local friends. After showing me cheap housing in the area, he couldn't show me any jobs. Plus I been through the state. Is miles of flat nothing.
I want to be in the mountains dude trying send me to flat places or deserts like WTH.
