One of the things I didn't like about Boulder is the hypocritical nature of a lot of people I ran into.
Maybe it's just me, but I figure the closer one gets to nature, the further one would be to materialism. Well it's quite the opposite in Boulder. If you're not wearing the latest, techy-ist, brand name outdoor gear, then you can't compete. A buddy moved out there, and now he wears trekking pants to work...at an agency...in a cube...
I was also put off by the farmer's market. The organic farmer's there rip you just like any old oil company that they, the farmer's, probably despise. Scary coincidence.
Colorado is beautiful, but there are many places to live... if you're young and only in it for the faux of it, move there, and party; you'll even see fixed bikes, as ironic as one of those in a place like Boulder is, and of course Costco and any other product of capitalism, then have it. If you're looking for some peace, and nature, move some place more deserving than Boulder because all of the mainstream American nonsense that I find frustrating is all still there, just flipped.
