changes are accelerating rapidly.........Denver's (and Colorado's) tax revenue is crashing, with massive shortages, putting the budget into serious RED territory.......Property taxes have increased dramatically the last 4 years, infrastructure maintenance is being neglected, traffic on interstates and freeways in Denver and surrounding areas is a nightmare. Twenty somethings can no longer afford a single family home.....
Our Home owner's insurance, and car insurance are some of the highest in the country. Denver ranks #1 in car thefts in the nation.....

It still is a great place to live......but regretfully, has become radically changed in the last ten years....and has accelerated incredibly....
Trump Inc has added a whole new dimension in getting far less money from the Federal Government in tons of different ways.....just because we are a serious BLUE City, and Somewhat a BLUE state, he has targeted our city/state along with many other BLUE cities/states.

An incredible amount of RED states, like 50% or more take much more money than they send in federal taxes.
And the BLUE states typically send far more than they receive, EVEN BEFORE Trump focused cuts towards the Blue states....and NOW the ratio is far worse, than it even was.....
