He's kidding... You must not live in CO? It's the line out here. Anti-town building, too many people are moving here already because it's so great, so spread the word that it's buried in snow, full of potheads and hippies. These are not the towns your looking for. Move along, move along.
Us Denverites seem to be the only ones in this thread to have figured this out. Lived here for 5 years and I tow the party line, please don't move here.
Boulder city home prices are ridiculous however the surrounding area (Louisville, Broomfield, etc) is more reasonable especially when compared to the Bay Area. However home prices along US-36 (main corridor between Boulder and Denver) are starting to increase rapidly.
In my experience, software engineering pay is plenty if you factor in the cheaper cost of living compared to Bay Area.
