Loveland sucks. Larimer County sucks. It’s a beta test area for a police state. The most crooked LE you’ll ever find. I swear there’s just something evil about that whole area. I went to high school there and left the second I could. Drug infested as you can get. In its early years it was as you say a farming hub of sorts and even named one of the safest cities in the US in the early seventies. Something happened, I don’t know what, but an evil energy took over. I definitely do not recommend anyone moving there or anywhere along the Front Range as that evil energy just spread out along the whole I-25 corridor.
The western slope is a different story, but subject to the law makings of the cunts of the Front Range. My brother has a beautiful place south of Grand Junction, but says the area is starting to show signs of falling.
Like California, Colorado would’ve been an awesome place to live and raise a family, but you best had done it before WWII.
That’s one of the biggest travesties of that area, the destruction and dilution of the founding families and farms. The population explosion of the seventies and liberalization of the universities overwhelmed and overtook the values and Christian morals of the founders who settled the area. The number of abandoned churches tell the story.
Laramie is libtarded and drug’d up because of the college. Wyoming in general is still Wyoming, but not without its drug problems in some areas like much of the country. Life is hard there. Winters are brutal some years and I always hated that fuk’n wind. Friends and family reporting this is one of those wicked winter years. Perils of the Prairie I call it. Beautiful country with some of the best hunt’n and fish’n you could want. The jobs are either really good or poverty livin’ across the state. Not an easy place to just drop in on and start to make your way. Cheyenne I never liked. Worked about year in Casper forty years ago, was a great cowboy town then, can’t say what it’s like now. Rock Springs and Green River area are tough unless you work railroad or energy sector. Lots of Mormons there so good luck. Jackson Hole and Yellowstone area, better have lots of money. Riverton, Lander and Thermopolis areas are probably where I’d go if’n I was look’n to go back to Wyoming. Maybe even that area east of Gillette near Spearfish. Been in the Southwest now way too long so that ain’t gonna happen. The winters would kill me.
Its shit. I have a friend that lives there. They bought a house ~4 years ago in what looks like a really nice area. They cant walk their dogs at the park a couple of blocks away anymore because there are too many used needles and violent homeless people.
I have not been to Loveland for years but when I had family that lived there ~10-ish years ago it was a great place and was fairly safe. Like everywhere else in the metro area (even all of the way to Ft Collins) its all turned to shit.
