Boulder’s become filthy and overrated. The city’s crawling with trash, homelessness, and neglect, yet it still pretends to be some perfect mountain paradise. It’s overpriced, grimy, and nowhere near as special as people make it out to be.
Lots of trust fund spending people living their adolescence into their 40s and 50s.
I’m 66 now, so yeah, old f***er, but Boulder was so much better back in the 80’s it’s not even close. I think a lot of younger peeps now are used to everything being so much more crowded and expensive it doesn’t register as much, but the difference between then and now is stunning. I was a bike racer back then, and you could ride up boulder canyon, peak to peak highway, left hand canyon, without billions of tourons buzzing past on every ride. Morgul Bismarck was phenomenal riding, now just massively built up. I lived with a cousin in an apartment on the creek and rent was peanuts; COL was still reasonable even accounting for the fact I wasn’t making much money. I was pretty cute bitd and all I had to do to get a girl was walk into the Sundown, grab a beer and sit by the pool tables, boom, didn’t even have to try. It was popular but not crowded AF like today, everything wasn’t built up like it is now where it seems the entire Front Range is one giant suburb. It was a piece of cake whipping up to Winter Park to get in some skiing and aprés at The Slope, not like now where it’s a giant parking lot on 70 going west just to get in a few turns, and just as bad or worse coming back east, and Epic didn’t own the whole universe. Can’t blame people; everyone wants the same thing, but I feel for 20 and 30 somethings now who will never know just how awesome it was in the last gasps of the olden days. Good times.
I lived there for a while even before you did and go back fairly often because my wife has family there. I was there two weeks ago. I agree with pretty much all you're saying. I think about half of Boulder now was just prairie when I was there and the traffic and crowds make it seem not as good a place as it used to be to me. But all of that happened because people came there and liked it well enough to decide to move there. If the place sucked I doubt it would have grown like it has.
I like various kinds of “diversity.” If you’re not in a big, cosmopolitan city, though, please tell me: where (when COL is as high as it is in Boulder or wherever) do you approve of the “diversity”?
Cosmopolitan cities are the way to go if you wanna explore outside of the insular running community!!!
I actually look like Thor, but like if he were a 150 pound runner. Some say I look like a sexy vampire, but I’m weak, slow, and I don’t suck blood so idk why they say that.
So you couldn’t even get a date with an ugly. Sad.
I've got ladies in my DM's telling me I'm a work of art. I'm not dating anyone ugly lol.
You're definitely a work of art. Good thing you're relocating to California. You will fit in perfectly in San Francisco (city of poseur narcissistic trust fund kiddies).

I suppose. But if that place continues to attract residents it would be an argument that the place still doesn't suck. But sure, sucking is totally subjective and there's probably no place on earth that someone doesn't think sucks. But Boulder seems like a fair few people don't believe it sucks.

I knew you’d all be jealous…
Either you're doing a great job of trolling or you really are quite the narcissist, probably both. Narcissism and Jealousy go together like peanut butter and jelly.

This place is a dump but smack-downs like this make it worth while to come back every now and then.

Narcissism and self-aggrandizement is just my own brand of humor…although there is a a little nugget of truth in everything I’ve said. Letsrunners aren’t going to guilt me into thinking I’m a narcissist though. I really can’t imagine how miserable you all must be getting on here all the time. Sorry for being so sexy, hot, cool, and unattainable. It will probably happen again!
