I NEED everyone in the notes to know that Denver is not cold year round?? They can get up into the 90s and even 100s (fahrenheit) in the summer???

Let's run this Hypothetical Again With 12 new cities

NYC, Boston, DC, Baltimore, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis,New Orleans, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia were all in the original polla ND therefore aren't eligible for this poll

#also just #…have y’all…have y’all ever been to Denver??#the public transit is a fucking joke #and it’s basically all suburb #it’s the epitome of every urbanists’ nightmares #it’s all only car infrastructure #the best they have for public transit is the light rail #which takes literally FOREVER to get anywhere #you have to own a car #staying with friends there a couple years ago for the holidays and not having a car #I tried to walk to any store that might have cold medicine #I spent over an hour on this futile task and had to return empty handed #it’s sprawling. it doesn’t have the infrastructure to support the population #you can’t build anything above a certain height. iirc it’s like 3-5 stories. haven’t been about to for a really long time #the tall buildings there have been grandfathered in but new construction cannot go up so it all has to go out #it’s literally grown into its suburbs. and/or they grew into it. either way the majority of the Denver metro area is suburb #and most of Denver itself feels like a suburb #as a native Coloradan I don’t understand this romanization of Denver #but I promise it’s not great. also there’s not really anything to do in CO. unless you want to camp and hike #and let me tell you. it gets old eventually. it all starts to look the same. doesn’t help that there’s not much diversity the plants/trees #also diversity in CO overall is p garbage #they do have green chili tho. I miss that terribly #anyway don’t move to Denver it’s not worth it I promise
