If you lived there you'd know it's optics. They're libertarian (corporate tax haven) in Denver and Boulder and the rest of the state is red. There's even sundown towns. You can smoke pot and marry your bro but you better both have beards and like fishing or else you're getting fitted for the barbwire fence.

    Sounds like Ohio with mountains and better PR

    Wow. That is an amazing description. Yeah kind of. I never thought of that before. And Ohio DID just import a shit ton of tech companies too so it's almost exactly like the Silicon exodus to Colorado ten years ago.

    All those tech companies downsized or all together pulled out for some reason in the last year...

    Did they? That's strange considering how prez has let them off the leash with Ai regulation. In that case I'm curious if the data centers that are being built now will be the only ones.

    Edit: Oh, you meant in CO. That's news to me too

    Is it possible the water rights are too restrictive in Colorado for their liking? I know there's a lot of environmental restrictions and requirements for construction there. My friend's brother makes serious money as a soil inspection engineer (not sure about his actual job title) in the mountains. If he says the ground isn't stable the build doesn't happen.
