Uber has black cars so he can hit that Southwest flight like a Rockefeller.

Its 2015. Uber.

Also found this to be true. Successfully fought my valuation on a Denver loft/condo last go around.

All being said property taxes seem very reasonable in Denver vs. most other places I have lived.

It may sound like bubble speak I don't live in Denver, so I don't know exactly what is going on in the market day to day. That said I'm sure its the same "bubble speak" that has been going on in the...

I wondered how long it would take to get to a tough guy, Everest is for posers, too commercial etc etc etc. Thought we would at least get to post 5. Apparently I underestimated the douchebaggery of...

Relative to you? Certainly appears that way.

Benny where did this overwhelming jealousy towards anyone who has become monetarily successful come from? The level of your bitterness is truly astounding.

I have a 2 bedroom place I currently rent out in downtown and have 500+ new units going in within a pitching wedge of my place. I'm definitely a little concerned about what its going to do to rents...

Grew up in one. Not a bad life.

Sure its sustainable. They've been doing it for more 15 years now and Vail stock is near an all time high. Sell $500 season passes to folks in the Midwest who use their pass for ~2 weeks a year....

I'm partial to living downtown. Also plenty of close in neighborhoods that seem to get a lot of love Highlands, Sloan Lake and even Curtis Park. Probably 30-45 minutes from great biking but if your...

I've used Vanns for a couple TVs now. No complaints.

Seconded on going with Blue Nile. Ended up getting my wife's ring through some jerk off at the diamond exchange in NY. Found the identical stone through him and one of the online diamond dealers....
