Let’s be real: Living in Colorado is pretty stinking perfect… but to be fair, there are still a few risks and dangers that come with all of this goodness. If – for some odd reason – you are looking for a reason to not like living in the Centennial State (or are looking to dissuade an out-of-stater from moving in), here are 12 of the biggest risks to living in Colorado:
- Going broke from all of the delicious food…
