Born and raised there. Off the top of my head: - Not much diversity aside from a large Hispanic population - Sprawl. Endless repetitive suburbs - I've heard people from large cities complain about it being boring - Increasingly crowded - Hard to make long term friends. Most people seem to stay 3-5 years and then go home or elsewhere - Food is getting better but not great - I-70 is a shitshow. Don't be surprised when at some point it takes you 8 hours to get back from skiing on a weekend - Lack of water, closest ocean is 1000 miles away. No big lakes
