They’ve already Californicated Colorado. I hadn’t been to our vacation home in over 5 years. The changes are stunning. The locals used to joke about the anti gun left wing People’s Republic of Boulder. Now it’s all over the state. Sad.

This is perfect. Why didn't we think of it sooner? This town still has some charm left, not the mess we turned Park City into.

Forgive me for being observant, but, won't we just end up doing the same thing to this town?
ROBERT REDFORD
Yes. And the town after, and the town after that. Like termites, we will move this film festival from town to town until we have used it up. And then move on, until every quiet mountain town is like Los Angeles.
PHYLLIS
Why? Why would we do such a thing?
ROBERT REDFORD Because we have to live in L.A. And if we can't live in quiet, simple, peaceful mountain towns, then nobody will! Waitwaitwait. Zoom in to a close-up of my face when I do that. Ready? Then NOBODY will! That's it.
It’s impossible that the government public schools in Colorado, which are producing hundreds of thousands of young leftist voters each and every year, have a little to do with it. Right.
It’s so much easier to blame it on california. Brilliant!
Colorado was once on my list of alternate places to live. I had a 3 month assignment in Colorado in early 2000. Long enough to experience the place and cross it off my list. WA state was also on the list, but I realized my options in the software development world would boil down to Microsoft, Boeing or small players. The Democrat majority in WA struck that off my candidate list. I ended up choosing SE Idaho. Still here after 23 years. Retiring soon.
