I know we just had a thread about Denver, but this one is different. I just got a job in Denver and I'll be moving in the next few weeks. Anyone have any insight to this city that I should know?
Where are the bad parts of town that I don't want to live in? That sort of thing. Anything is helpful.

Denver traffic is different.... Not necessarily worse.

I-25 from the north into downtown is a mess (near Westminster, etc.) simply because there is nowhere to expand the road, it is 3 lanes both ways (in some places 4) but there is no room to make it larger. So as people move farther and farther out (towards 470 in the north) the traffic will get worse.

I think Houston traffic is by far much worse. We create the traffic here, instead of the roads doing it. We have to merge to get in the faster lane, slowing everyone else down.

I never had a problem with Denver traffic. It moves, slowly but it's much easier than the stuff I put up with on a daily basis on 59. We just keep adding lanes wink.gif

Dallas was also pretty bad but you have options to get around the traffic.
