Denver is a boom and bust town. Every once in a while, it thrives for a decade, then busts with an exodus of people (myself included). It will rebalance and boom again.

All western cities are boom towns, Seattle is famous for the "Will the last person to leave Seattle, turn out the lights" billboard. SF is a canonical boom town as much as LA is. Maybe SLC would be excluded, but it was founded under special circumstances.

Why do you say this and why did you leave? I'm curious.
