Boulder!
The flatirons, Boulders mountains, are most beautiful during all seasons of the year.
Hiking, biking and viewing the colors of autumn is fantastic.
If you like skiing, its all the better to enjoy Vail Colorado, my favorite place to visit, especially during the Christmas season of bright colorful lighting in its community.
Boulder known for its biking and miles of trails is for the novice as well as for the most experienced
biking enthusiast.
What I would like to see changed in Boulder is the congestion from massive numbers of cars, traveling though the city daily.
The positive side of Boulders traffic is the excellent bus services thoughout Boulder and the Denver Metropolitan region.
I would also like to see changes in the affordable housing , Boulder would do well to accommodate more levels of groups of people, besides the growing wealth that Boulder seems to be
attracting to itself.

Boulder is an interesting mix between a college town and a hippie/hipster commune. There’s great food, great education, and lots of interesting folks. The only real issue I have with Boulder is how awful and entitled their pedestrians are, they are terrible jaywalkers, and extremely rude at traditional social norms for pedestrians, walking as slowly as they can through the cross walk, taunting drivers, and just being overall snobs. Other great things about Boulder is it’s outdoors and health culture, it’s extremely pet friendly, it’s cultured, and it’s close to Denver!
I relocated to Boulder, CO for educational purposes. It seems to be a great town to study and focus in. I very much enjoy being so submerged in nature and having endless amounts of clean, safe and maintained trails at my fingertips to hike, bike or run on. I love the sense of safeness and healthy lifestyle that surround me here. I do however, miss the diversity of ethnicities and the rich art and creativity that brings to a community. If it is one thing Boulder could use more of, it would be diversity. Despite the feeling of living in a beautiful buble, there are many opportunities and much encouragement to get out and explore the midwest. I feel very much privileged and lucky for this opportunity to experience such a beautiful place on earth. I look forward to exploring what the midwest has to offer as a whole.
