Looking like moving to CO is a major possibility for next late next year - likely the Denver or Boulder areas. From looking online - I am leaning towards Boulder, but depends on where DH gets a job.
I am wondering if you can tell me more about it.
Weather? How cold is it really? How much snow do you really get? Are the roads maintained well during storms?? I grew up in PA and it was not.
Vax exemptions seem easy. Hsing seems easy too. Are they really? Do either area have ACTIVE HSing group - specifically active secular or non-christian groups?
Are homebirths legal? Any fabulous HBMWs or birth centers around there??
Any recommendations for specific areas - affordable, safe, family friendly, crunchy? and for that area - What is the rental/housing market like? General prices for stuff like rentals, gas, etc?
Do you have Whole Foods or something similar for groceries? Organic farmers markets?
We will need a new acupunturist who is amazing with kids, a new chiro (someone who focuses on the Grostic tech or gentle cervical adjustments), a new homeopath, a new kinesiologist, etc for my son and his major food allergies....Oh yeah, a family doc or even a ped who is very AP and alt. med friendly....
How is the economy?? Are there alot of health care jobs out there right now (I am a nurse and DH will soon be a ultrasound tech)?
Asthma - does there seem to be alot of asthma issues? DS had a serious asthma attack when we went back to PA/NJ a few years ago, and has occasional flares up when he is seriously sick - but otherwise has no asthma in FL. I am worried that another state might make his asthma worse....some places are known for being "good" or "bad" for respiratory illness and asthma - not sure where CO fits into this (I am hoping good cuz the air is so much cleaner...but not sure how the high altittude effects things)
ANything else you think I should consider?? Thanks!
