No way, we really like it here. Would never live on either coasts. Just bought some land out in Hartsel and are building a homestead out there anyways. My big beef actually is with medical marijuana. Yes, it's legal but the powers that be here are trying to push it out of the area as much as they can. My wife has been helped tremendously by MM. She has had auto-immune rheumatoid arthritis since she was 13. She's been able to get off some very dangerous opioids/opiates because of it.
All that being said, I can understand in a way why the city council here is trying to push it out. They're old Air Force retirees and are just suspicious of it. And even bigger for them, they are afraid of losing business from the military since this town would be economically devastated if the Government decided to start moving installations to other less "pot-friendly" areas. Personally, I don't think that will ever happen.
Like I alluded to, this place here has a good mix of politics unlike in other areas we've lived. Everyone here seems to get along very well and doesn't let the crap get in the way of living. I love Colorado and the people that live here. Though, the California transplants can get on your nerves. ;-)
