The city for stoners and scholars, gay rights and human rights, sun worshippers and skiers, artists and performers, beer lovers and bike riders.

  1. Actually, Denver is the WORST city in the US. The land of the vapid, arrogant, banal, bland, humorless, soul-less, witless, dishonest, anti-social yuppie. The brain-washed porcelain evangelicals in their prairie palaces complement well the morbid mounds of petrified dung known as the Rockies. No trees, no smells, no water, no oxygen. No one talks in declarative sentences. Half the economy runs on alimony. The land of erasure of personality. No sentient person would want to live there.

  2. One of your senior City of Denver employees sells illegal DRUGS for years! The COPS or DEA do not care! Tim a PREJUDICE and NEGLIGENT zoning supervisor, tells me they have been WARNED about me! BY 311 and the COUNCILMAN’S OFFICE! City services denied to me! WHY because I complain they are NEGLIGENT AND HAVE PROOF! Many times, I have to ARGUE with 911 and or Denver Police to take actions or even to NEGLIGENTLY respond! 02-17-13 after being abused for hours, I SCREAMED out my door call 911. Then when free from my ABUSER, I called 911 for D.V.! I was arrested, surely in retaliation to my NUMEROUS POSTS and COMPLAINTS of police negligence, prejudice and SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT! The D.A. refused to charge my ABUSIVE husband, after he BROKE my finger and STABBED me with a cleaning brush 01-06-13. Reporting Officers Curtis and Aloia asked me to PROMISE to call 911 if my husband got violent again! DUE to their request, I got the guts to call 911 and I was WRONGLY arrested and false imprisoned! Now REFUSED D.V. programs assistance, cus I am not the victim, B.S.! 10 years of POLICE PREJUDICE, NEGLIGENCE, DELIBERATE INDIFFERENCE AND SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT! I AM THE VICTIM! I was wrong to enable the abuse, NOW the GOVERNMENT IS ENABLING THE ABUSER! I am still suffering and being damaged from City of Denver’s negligent and prejudice employees! I have a years list as PROOF, of 311, zoning and police DAMAGING negligence!

  3. Dont forget Denver is also the perfect place for sex offenders! People that rape kids getoff easy in your city. Pass Jessica’s Law before you promote your city or state.
