Feb 2025

our population is exploding, especially along the front range: Denver North to the Wyoming border, and down towards C. Springs.
For the last six months, if you drive around Denver, there are TONS of Texas Plates, as well as Florida and California plates...
The influx of people is causing all kinds of problems, a major increase in traffic, major price increases of rentals and houses, which in turn sends the cost of property taxes soaring,
We are #1 in the entire nation for car thefts, and recently the feds rated us #1 in Road Rage Incidents in the entire U.S.
The State Patrol has also noticed an up tick in Aggressive and Reckless driving since the Election......

Along with Idaho......there is Montana also.......
