Mile High Nightmare

Denver, CO stinks. The traffic is horrendous with the constant road work, the weather is as bipolar as a lot of the people who live here, the people act like animal/people lovers, but they're not. People are as rude and ignorant as ever and don't care about each other. If you don't fit a specific stereotype here you won't fit in.
Not much of a choice for apartments here once you've seen them all. A lot of them have income requirements either high or low and yet this city had a ten year plan to end homelessness. Yeah right. Oh and forget finding a decent apartment for a decent price. If you pay over 700/month for an apartment it'll still not be worth it. If you spend anything under that, you'll have to deal with bed bugs and cockroaches and management who don't care and a city and state that's on their side.
We're talking about a city that cares more about legalizing pot than stopping human trafficking, child abuse, animal abuse or anything else that would actually make the world a better place. To them, Colorado already is the best place. This is a city whose most recent solution to the homeless problem is kicking them out of the streets. Like they have anywhere else to go. Duh!
After spending most of my life here I have not one friend I can count on in an emergency. Nobody cares if I live or die. Nobody would care if I got fired from my job because my car broke down. This place is an ongoing nightmare from which I can't escape. I can't wait to get out and live on a tiny shred of hope that one day I will. This is all coming from a native BTW.
