@davemcl1057 Yeah. Weld is hard-working and laid-back at the same time. I lived in Greeley from the 2000s until last winter. Working at a college, the amount of hysteria and illogic by people who should know better was pretty demoralizing. But most of the town just kept on like nothing happened.
Even at the DMV, masking was optional, which you wouldn't've known, except some of the nice ladies behind the counter weren't wearing masks. Turns out masks were optional in Weld County. Greeley was more like Sweden. Don't come to work if you're not feeling well. Use common sense. Red counties are way more polite and reasonable than blue counties. Most of my liberal friends think Greeley's a pit. I always liked it.
Since I bought that Greeley place, we'd been fighting the building of apartment complexes next door. Obama really wanted to put big apartment complexes right on top of single-family-dwelling neighborhoods, defeating the purpose of living next to other home owners. They finally forced through the construction of a bunch of duplexes, but that neighborhood was never going to be the same. Car and foot traffic all hours. For many years, it was the perfect neighborhood. Close to everything, but separate and quiet. Lots of big old trees. Shady and quiet little oasis that was about to get a lot louder.
I couldn't believe that I got out of there, and got as much as I did. The home buyers thought they were ripping me off. My ex-neighbors are probably pissed, because that house will likely go back to being a rental, now, and they liked that they had an owner living there, who was quiet and constantly improving the property. That place was under $200 K in '13, and they're trying to sell it for $450 K. Unbelievable.
