The economy and the environment are the primary reasons that transplants land here...even though a popular misconception blames it on legal pot.
Joe buys that argument, and says:
Although I supported Colorado making marijuana legal, I do not support the influx of people coming to the state because of that.Responds Brandon:
We literally come here to cause traffic, smoke your weed, and hike up rent. We don't even like it that much, we just want to piss off the "natives".Adds Jeff:
Now if you could just address the seeming genetic superiority native Coloradan's claim to have that allow them to drive flawlessly in the snow and not be cold in the winter.Melanie compares Colorado with Florida, where medical marijuana is now legal.
We moved away from Denver to Clearwater two years ago. I've lived in eleven states and never have I seen such hatred for transplants as I have in Colorado!! Florida is a transient state which hosts snowbirds from all over the place every year. I've never had a bad experience when someone asks if I moved here or was born here. Colorado has the worst sense of nativism I've ever seen. Even more so than Hawaii!!!Responds Haley:
Stay in FLORIDA! We don't want anymore Floridians, Texans or Californians!!! We are full!!!!Concludes Trevor:
Because they ruined their own states, they want to ruin ours. It’s almost like the plot from Independence Day.Keep reading for more stories about transplants coming to Colorado, particularly from Florida.
