I have to disagree with you on not seeing how quick Colorado would become Californicated. This started with the recession in the the early 80s. Californicators found out they could sell their property in California and purchase in Colorado for less than half the price of California prices. Once there, they started remaking Colorado in California's image. THAT was the beginning. By the time I left Colorado in 2002, they were well on their way. Now they are close to being competently Californicated. This election probably will tell the tale.

Same thing happened in Washington State. I grew up in Colorado and when we moved here, I wouldn’t say it was a totally red state, but it certainly wasn’t as liberal/Marxist as it is now - - primarily on the I-5 corridor. Eastern WA is pretty much Republican.

Californians moved up here in the 80x-90s, increased the price of housing and brought their other liberal values with them.

As other FReepers have noted in other parts of the country, they ruin the area they lived in due to liberal policies then move to a red state and bring they same politics and beliefs with them and ruin that area or state.
