And krelm, the reason why traffic in Denver suxx so bad now is because of Californian's and Texans.

It's the fucking Californians, dammit! :P

Texans (aside from Austinites, which are a whole different breed of bad driver) drive FAST and STUPID. It's 85 degrees and sunny - they are driving 80 mph. It's pouring like mad - they are driving 80 mph. "What's this funny white stuff all over the ground?" Fuck it - they are driving 80 mph. Californians are probably responsible for the slowdown from driving too slow, but at least get the blame right - if the Texans are at fault, it's for causing all the fucking wrecks.

Nothing against Texan's or Californian's, just learn how to fricking drive in Colorado weather or get the hell out of my city or at the very least out of my way.

Fuck that - global warming is so much easier. Give us another 15 years with our excessively large pickup trucks, and this so-called "Colorado weather" will be just as hot as Texas weather. Why do you think all of our politicians are oil men? Then you won't have to worry about Californians and Texans getting freaked out from driving in the snow and fucking up Denver traffic.

I'm not entirely sure where you got these numbers from, but I read an article in the Denver Post recently (like within the last 2-3 months) that said overall traffic in Denver had risen above even LA. Like I said, the article said we were number 1 or number 2 now, so I'm thinking these numbers are just a little outdated. It might have said we were RIGHT behind LA, but I know I remember we are #1 or #2.

October 2003 data.

but really, we're talking about the WORST traffic in the states. Does it really matter wether you're #1, 2, or 3? Pretty much, i'd say it sucks to be you any way you look at it.

Traffic is traffic. And it sucks anywhere.

It suxx most in Denver though. And yes I've been all over.

And krelm, most of my family are texans so I know how they drive there and I have to disagree. I do like how they all pull over on the shoulder though, so if they drive slower they move out of your frickin way.

The other thing is the cops, Texas cops patrol like no other, everytime I've been there I've escaped a ticket narrowly because of my trusty radar detecter. Regardless, some people just need to use public transportation.

Who can recommend a nice city I can live in that I can actually haul ass around town?? Relatively low traffic and such?? I need to get away from this city the more and more I think about it.

Helena, Montana ... http://www.ci.helena.mt.us/

Ya, I don't think Montana will work. I have family in Billing's too. I need to be somewhere that the BC's are readily available, but I want to stay in America too. Damn the catch 22's.

Well. Oregon gets dank from all sides. And I mean it. Humb bud, Oregon bud, and BC bud and they are the diggity dank that get you trying to figure out what your next move is. A fucking Mecca for the true connoisseur. Portland ... is pretty people friendly and Liberal, you can laugh a lot at the politics and crazy absurd issues, but hey I love trees and water. So I think I am here to say. Plus, with Mt. Hood an hour and half away to the right, and to left the coast is also an hour and half, it's really nice. :wink:
