I don't know what people expect moving to south central Colorado, maybe they're taken in by the "cheap land" posts that flood everything like craigslist for Costilla and Alamosa counties. If you've never been there, it's amazing anything grows on that land at all (it's just high desert) and like the article says the people are really poor there; it's an entirely different world than the front range that people seem to extrapolate to the rest of Colorado. Everybody feels entitled to live in Colorado, but our problems are going to come to a head sooner or later when we face the reality that even the front range doesn't frankly have enough water for all of it's citizens or it's ag activies (and we keep building more and more crazy dam and pipeline projects). I personally believe we're going to see a major crisis level drought in the front range in the next 20-30 years that ends up potentially causing a significant population shrinkage in our metros, and it will likely be even more acute elsewhere in the state (as the front range metro basically gets preferential treatment to everywhere else).
