I'm thinking about moving to Denver and starting my adult life. I live near NYC but I just don't like it. NYC is dirty, stinky, and unjustifiably expensive. I see rents in Denver between 1400-2000 for a reasonable yet not posh apartment and I can afford it by myself.

TBH I could afford NYC with roommates too but it's everything that is just ridiculously expensive, NYC just feels unfair and nuyorkians take the unfairness out on everyone. I don't want to live my adult life feeling like I should just bite the bullet every time I wanna do something, I want to spend reasonably.

But I'm gay and I gotta have that gay energy in my life, Denver looks great, I'm just curious about what you guys think about Denver Colorado.

Thoughts? Opinions? Warnings?

To my knowledge, Denver is one of those cities that is exploding in popularity, so you might find that your rent increases year-over-year faster than you like. I have not lived there, so take my advice on it with a grain of salt.

For my part, I will say that Minneapolis is a great (and affordable) place to be queer!

I’m in Denver and we actually just renewed our lease and they didn’t raise our rent one cent! I can hardly believe it, and we live in a nice building too. I guess because we aren’t at capacity they just want us to stay.
