So, I moved to Denver around 3 years ago. There are a lot of "Outdoor Bros" or whatever you want to call them (I would probably get labeled like that by others).

The traffic jams on weekends are real, but avoidable if you know when and where to go. There are plenty of things to do that will avoid the crowds people complain about. It's not that hard, but the popular stuff everyone knows about are always packed.

Cultural homogenization is really dependent on who you talk to and who they hang out with. I have tons of friends that complain about this here, but from what I observe they don't try to hang out with people that are much different than them. There is diversity here (could be improved for sure), but you need to make an effort to seek it out.

I think from a surface level glance those things are true, but if you want to get more out of what the area has to offer and avoid the pitfalls, it's not that hard although takes some effort.

Pretty much true. I-70 into the mountains is a parking lot on Friday and Saturday, and basically the same leaving the mountains on Sunday. Turns what should be a three to four drive to get to the western slope into six to seven some days.

He's not complaining lol just stating a fact. If the fact is that it takes 7 hours to drive into the mountains... that's important to know, if you're thinking of moving there.

All the OutdoorsBro(tm) that I know are moving to Denver, so idk if I would even like it.

Labeling people OutdoorBro just seems like gatekeeping your hobby for people who aren't "true believers".

I'm not sure how you determined I was complaining from a comment that is simply pointing out a fact. The individual I replied to asked if bad traffic was true or not, and I indicated it is.
