Don’t shit on Colorado just because you had to look at a parking lot in Denver metro.

One of the most beautiful states in the country.

While true that Colorado is beautiful, it is an absolutely car-centric state that's far too much sprawl and not great public transportation options. Denver is also not really a pretty city - it's covered in freeways and interstates and the traffic is always bad.

There's finally some movement to get a train that goes from Longmont down to Denver with a few other stops by 2029, but everyone is pretty incredulous that it'll happen.

I'd also love to see public transit to the ski resorts. Riding trains through the Rockies would be AMAZING.

Summit County, where Breckenridge is, has free buses throughout and a free shuttle to and from the Denver airport.
