Born and raised there. Off the top of my head:

- Not much diversity aside from a large Hispanic population

- Sprawl. Endless repetitive suburbs

- I've heard people from large cities complain about it being boring

- Increasingly crowded

- Hard to make long term friends. Most people seem to stay 3-5 years and then go home or elsewhere

- Food is getting better but not great

- I-70 is a shitshow. Don't be surprised when at some point it takes you 8 hours to get back from skiing on a weekend

- Lack of water, closest ocean is 1000 miles away. No big lakes

Agreed on many of these. Diversity is low, foodies would go through withdrawal if they came from somewhere like SF bay area, and outside say Boulder, LoDo/downtown Denver or maybe FC it is just car-centric sprawl.

I-70 Denver to Summit county really needs a freaking train... Ugh
