Great post! That's exactly it, wherever you go it's always "something" that makes it not perfect. Gotta be willing to compromise and trade based on your priorities. I love the climate, landscape, outdoor activities and friendly open people Colorado has but it's not worth the insane housing costs, stupid emissions laws and testing, lack of diversity basically anywhere but Denver among other smaller issues that I've ignored in the past. I might look at moving back later on down the road but at this point in my life I feel my calling is elsewhere and I'm willing to make some compromises.
