Been in Colorado for the past week or so. You guys are a lot further ahead than Illinois is. Lots more bike paths and lanes, better traffic control that doesn't result in stop and go movement, overall a lot more green space in your shopping centers and in human spaces, also lots more walking areas.

Don't beat up your state too much, it's fantastic compared to mine. :'c

    I'm from So. IL originally and been to CO 4 times. Colorado is so much better in my opinion. People biking and jogging everywhere, everyone I met was really nice, like went out of their way to help my friends and I nice. Obviously that's not everyone there, but it was the experience I had. Overall, it's probably my favorite of the states I've been to and hope to go back, maybe permanently, someday.

    I'd love to be a gatekeeper saying "we're already full, turn back around", but I'm a CA transplant myself. Personally, I'm looking to leave myself: too cold most of the year, and it's getting really $$$. YMMV
