It was much better in the early 90s when I lived there, about 20 miles east of Aurora off the 70. The city was more comparable to a midwestern city (Colfax in certain areas were sketchy back then) and the people in the plains that bordered the city were very nice. This was back in the day when DIA meant, “Doesn’t Include Airplanes” and Stapleton was still the predominant airport.
Probably not like that anymore, but when I flew out of DIA about 5 years to Sky Harbor, I was shocked with how developed the areas were east of Aurora from the air. Checked Zillow thereafter, and nothing was under 500000, and there were huge acreages that easily topped the 1-2 million mark. But hey, it is much less expensive than Boulder.
The city I leave near, for over a dozen years (Phoenix) definitely made the list, and rightfully so. Road rage is rampant, especially in the more affluent parts, and the less affluent parts are rampant with crime and homelessness. If you shop in many parts of Phoenix, make sure you not drink water, because public restrooms do not exist in the bad parts.

@ivearies4187 Tucson AZ is similar to what Denver was in 1993. Housing costs are less and so are taxes. The only thing is, it is getting inundated with Californians, but more so, from the bad areas near LA or San Bernardino. I am going to guess that the more educated Californians from affluent areas descended into Denver because the local economy has a higher proportion of white collar high tech careers. Tucson is also loaded with garbage all over the place along with homeless encampments. The freeway system also sucks too, but back in 1993 Denver had less freeways to choose from, but it was a painless commute to drive on the 70 to Denver from the east (25 less so). On a positive note Tucson, doesn’t get black ice and the people are a little more friendlier than Phoenix, and it feels more like a big town as opposed to a city, which Denver once was.
Phoenix is way worse than Denver IMO, and always has been. Rudeness prevails everywhere there and will inevitably make it’s way to Tucson, if it hasn’t already.
