Off to Wyoming to find a new home (soonish)

welcome to the new, improved boulder

Rich people have fled NYC to ruin the west

Pal Nancy and Sarah are urging me to move to Colorado, but I think not.

Colorado’s gone, at least east of the Rockies, and because that’s where the people are, they control the state. Denver and Boulder have homeless using the sidewalks as public toilets, gun control, rent control (which — duh — has driven rents sky high, and the eastern side has just voted to release wolves on the western side, where the ranchers and their cattle are. Did I mention tax hikes and a ban on styrofoam plates?

Montana has the Big Sky Resort and Ben Affleck and Lo Jo, and the University of Montana, plus Bozeman (the 2010 census put Bozeman's population at 37,280 and by 2019 the population had risen to 49,8310.

Michael Martin Offers all three alternative destinations; I’m thinking that as long as I avoid Jackon’s Hole, Wyoming is the safest.

URBAN CAMPING: Denver Fire Removes Hundreds Of Pounds Of Propane From Homeless Encampments, Worries About Large-Scale Disaster. “Firefighters say many camps — in populated areas, along busy streets, and under bridges — have several tanks of propane. It’s a dangerous mix that led to a close call in northeast Denver last month. Explosions rocked the area after 500 pounds of propane erupted in a tractor trailer-turned-homeless encampment.”

Why would they remove it, when they should be bringing in more?
