  1. If you're a big 'n' tall, the altitude takes some getting used to. Love Colorado up high, where there's water. I like the fact that there's sun, especially in those high valleys, almost every day. Even in the middle of snow, the daily air movements frequently blow a hole in the cloud cover, so you get some pure sun, 'most every day, even while the snow's piling up. A little farther north, you can get the nice climate, without having to go up as high, and the land's less barren between the peaks.

  2. Rent and real estate prices have really jumped, all right. I'm tempted to sell out and pocket the difference, and taxes go up, when the home values go up, so I got a bump in my escrow payments this past year. But Zillow says the place is worth half-again as much, so I'd get my down payment plus another down payment, plus some, if I got top dollar for the place. But I didn't buy it to cash in. Bought it for the neighborhood and its proximity to work, so it fits my life like a glove, even though the taxes went up, quite a bit. I'm also making more than I did when it already fit my budget, so the bump isn't hurting me at my dinner table. Just my atrocious lack of enthusiasm in the kitchen.

  3. The folks who move out of California tend to be more conservative for Californians, but still way liberal compared to the states they move to. Imagine Texas becoming a blue state. The influx from Cali could do it.
