Denver traffic got me like....
Whoa.... Since they legalized marijuana in Colorado, we've had a population boost. I can no longer get to point A and B like I used to. The traffic is horrific. I'm not used to this since I grew up here. Lol 😂 The lines in the grocery store, doctor's office and everywhere in general are loooong. There is some good and some bad that has come out of this. My kids school is well funded by the pot money. They have more support and programs for learning and a new playground. Denver is growing and developing. The children's museum is awesome. We cannot afford to enjoy any of these amenities. Groceries are way too expensive. Thank God we own our own house, because rent has skyrocketed. My friends pay almost triple for an apartment compared to what I pay for my 3 bedroom two bathroom townhouse. Homelessness is rampant. It's not the same but I still love it, believe it or not. Hiking is still free.
But oh the traffic. I takes me 25 minutes to get to work, vs 15 minutes 5 years ago. People cannot drive, stay in their lane. It drives me nuts. I wonder if they are high or drunk some of the time. I'm worried about my daughter who will be learning to drive soon.
