Can anyone say anything about the cost of living in Boulder? I've heard that it's almost Aspen-like in terms of housing costs (which is to say, very high).

Also, if there is someone currently living in CO, what do you feel the likelihood is of this bill passing?

On the surface, it kind of seems like this would be bad for startups.




Cost of living in boulder isn't bad... certainly nothing like Aspen. When I was a student here I was paying $400-500 (my share) a month with room mates in a 3 bedroom. Now I have a two bedroom right downtown (by Pearlstreet) for $1295 (I pay half).

As a startup I was surprised to see that bill... I doubt it will pass, but I had never heard about it.


Not to pry, but are you renting an apartment or a house?


No worries, in college I was renting a house. Now I am renting a two bedroom apartment.


half of $1295? i.e. $650?

or $1295 * 2 = $2600?


Sorry didn't see this, I pay $650


Most people I know rent, and pay ~$500/m per room for an apartment (within walking and biking distance to downtown office space, which is generally pretty cheap too).


Three years ago I was renting a room downtown from a lady, 130$ per week, which was supposedly on the cheaper side of the spectrum. I loved the place.
