Denver Traffic



The traffic here in Denver is not pretty.  When I was driving up to Fort Collins almost every day last month, an hour and ten minute drive in normal times often took almost two hours during rush hour.  And on the weekends, traffic seems bad all the time.  Fortunately, I live in a condo in south central Denver - close to both work and downtown - and very seldom have to deal with this kind of traffic.  However, now I know what everybody else is complaining about.  Living in the heart of Denver is very desirable these days, and more and more apartments and townhouses are being constructed, all of it very pricey.  The place next door was recently renovated, and they have a sign out in front advertising studio apartments for "only $1,000."  Give me a break.  No wonder people are starting to move out of Denver, hoping to find higher salaries and a lower cost of living.  It looks like trouble in paradise.
