My conservative parents live in the "People's Republic of Boulder" & are way outnumbered by a city full of aging hippies who never left the 60's. They come north to Longmont to help me freep. Longmont is a much more conservative previously agricultural city but it is growing out of control. I would recommend the western slope or further north - near the Wyoming border. However, keep in mind our altitude. I have known people with respiratory problems who came out here to retire & had to move back to a lower altitude or face going on oxygen.
