@VictoriaGates Not too sure if my prediction is accurate, but I foresee Pueblo, CO undergoing a complete turnaround, due to the ever increasing housing costs from Denver to the CO Springs area.
Also, it sits near I-25 about 45 miles south of CO Springs. The property taxes are low too. In fact, I am thinking about it myself.
If you have ever been there, then you probably know, there are some very sketchy areas, but there is only one way the city can go.
Also, in Albuquerque, where petroglyph National Monument sits, west of downtown, reminds me of a poor man’s metro Denver. Property taxes are low there too, and the crime is less rampant.
Not sure about the former, regarding toxic people, but the latter seemed relatively friendly.
Both Albuquerque and Pueblo get an extremely bad rap, but I see potential for both.

@UserName-ts3sp I know, I lived around it for 15 years of my life, but I now live in the SW USA where it is more scenic, sans the water availability.
BTW, there are also wheat fields, alfalfa fields, range land, and soybean fields, not that the aforementioned makes it any more scenic, hence the term flyover country.
However, IMO, the females are for the most part, very pretty, and less pretentious. Unfortunately with social media, that has all but disappeared.

@cherrlyn381 Why did I chuckle at that comment? I guess, there is only one way for it to go???. It is amazing how things change as you travel southward from CO Springs along the 25. However, I read a recent article about the upward trend in the real estate market there.
In the early 90s nobody wanted to live in the plains about 30 miles east of Denver, and now the housing there, if there is even any available, has gone up several 100 percent. Most of the newer housing there is north of 1 million with acreages. Watkins, Bennett, and Strasburg come to mind. I predicted that in the early 90s because of easy hwy access, land that could easily be developed, proximity to metro Denver, and the new DIA at the time.
