I’ve lived in Colorado for more than 30 years but migrated here from the Deep South. When I first arrived in Colorado I drove trucks for a living and had routes that frequently took me to Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming. 
 

I’ve got a lots of relatives & friends in various parts of Texas so I’ve spent and continue to spend a a lot of time there. Both of my kids have relocated to the Dallas area. My comments about Texans aren’t malicious and of course, just my opinion. Texans are different! 

I'm from Yorkshire in the north of England. It's the British equivalent of Texas, both geographically and culturally.

 

I really like Colorado. I was in Denver for a while and then Estes Park and Loveland. It's a magnificent part of the world.

I’m in the Denver area. Not sure when you were here but the population has increased significantly since marijuana was legalized (medical 2000 & recreational 2012). It’s a lot more expensive to live here now. In comparison to other places that I’ve lived in the States, it’s still pretty nice.
 

My experience in England is limited. I spent brief periods of time in Lakenheath and Mildenhall when I was in the Air Force. My permanent duty station was in Germany though. Colorado, especially the mountain areas, reminds me a lot of Germany. That’s probably why I enjoy it here as I have very fond memories of Germany….

I was there in the late 1980's and early 1990's. 

 

Everything and everywhere seems to have got way more expensive in America, not just Colorado, I expect. It used to be British people were shocked at the lower cost of everyday items over there like food and clothing. Nowadays I am shocked how expensive it is even compared to the rapidly rising prices in the UK .  

 

I'm surprised so many people are attracted to relocate due legal weed, though. I suppose some folks have strange priorities.

Ok, I made it here in 1991. The main reason that my kids moved to Dallas was that it was much more affordable for them. I can’t really speak about the cost of everyday items there in comparison to here but housing is definitely less. 
 

Think about marijuana in this way. Many just want to be able to get what they need for medical or recreational purposes without fearing any legal ramifications. Some citizens in other states are being prosecuted for possession or growing small amounts of marijuana. That being said, I think legalization was just a plus for people considering moving here. The local economy, job market and quality of living is what caused the area to be considered.

Texans tend to have a sort of arrogance that can be a little overbearing to some people and I just don't get that same vibe from the Montanans that I've associated with.

I lived and worked in Texas for years, and arrogant is not something I'd call them.

I was attempting to be diplomatic with my description and I’d love to hear the moniker that you feel is most appropriate. I guess an extreme amount of pride for the state is another way of characterizing it. All that I know is that when I interact with most individuals from there the TEXAS vibe is very evident to me!

Well this discussion certainly took a turn!
