Well the only reason the Californian's left is because all the indians, asians, and mexican came in. There are towns that have more Asians immigrants here who buy up all the property and rent it out at double the price. California has the same population of Filipinos as the capital of the Philippines.

I understand but they voted to let them in.

There is very little restriction on legal federal immigration and green cards. They come here for a job get married, or school, get legal, no one said they wanted illegals, we used to have worker programs, they come in work the farms, and leave, now we have H1B and losing jobs to tech workers that will work on a barista's salary.

Not wrong. Denver and Boulder are horrible for afford-ability. It's the new Cali-Col corridor(Boulder-Denver). This is causing upto 40 miles outside of Denver proper to get Massive price increases. I've watched houses double in price in 6 years. Everything is well above the housing bubble high.

From Colorado, can verify. I'm an hour south of the springs, and $200k buys a pretty nice house on an acre. The commute is killer though.

150k gets you one of the 100 year old sears-roebuck houses outside of fort carson. Of course no land and you might get shot.

Yeah, I work on Carson and deliberately don't live anywhere near it. There are some nice places down the 115 towards turkey creek, but the cheapest I found was over $600k.
