It's cold at night, and warm during the day. But yeah, it is more expensive up here.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that more desirable places to live can be more expensive. Demand does often drive prices up.
Yeah, for sure. If you ever want any help/advice/etc. about moving up here if that's in your cards at some point, feel free to HMU. My wife and I just went through it, as did 2 of my friends who transplanted out of the Austin area to here.
It's better on the other side, for sure.
There's still a lot of trump/MAGA crazies up here, because they're roughly 30% of the voting US population; but they lack any real governing or decision making power in the state, and losing more every day.
We vote by mail, with a guide that tells you the full details (in a large packet) of what every single law, bond, etc. means and how it could affect you along with the background on how that law got onto the ballot.
Then you just drop it off at the post office box and you're done. It's amazing how easy it is to vote compared to Texas.
And that's just one of the many things that's better. :)
Funny enough I lived in Texas and also moved to Denver. However, I would say that yes it is more expensive, but the wage is significantly higher. I was making 25k in Texas to the point where I couldn't afford my mortgage anymore. But moving to Denver, I was making 55k.
