So, I moved to Denver around 3 years ago. There are a lot of "Outdoor Bros" or whatever you want to call them (I would probably get labeled like that by others)

So, I moved to Denver around 3 years ago. There are a lot of "Outdoor Bros" or whatever you want to call them (I would probably get labeled like that by others). The traffic jams on weekends are real, but avoidable if you know when and where to go. There are plenty of things to do that will avoid the crowds people complain about. It's not that hard, but the popular stuff everyone knows about are always packed. Cultural homogenization is really dependent on who you talk to and who they hang out with. I have tons of friends that complain about this here, but from what I observe they don't try to hang out with people that are much different than them. There is diversity here (could be improved for sure), but you need to make an effort to seek it out. I think from a surface level glance those things are true, but if you want to get more out of what the area has to offer and avoid the pitfalls, it's not that hard although takes some effort.
