In or out? When it comes to moving, more people are “in” on Denver

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:46 GMT

Brooklyn, Phoenix and Austin residents this year are researching moves into the Denver area way more than Denver residents are looking the other way.  And when it comes to getting out of Denver, the scale tips in favor of Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Colorado Springs.Online moving platform moveBuddah looked at the ratio of people researching moves into and out of Denver between 2020 through early 2023 to try to better understand where the population flowed. Metro Denver remains a popular destination overall, but movers are now more interested in the suburbs than they are in the core city.“Search interest nationwide in moving to Denver was consistently high from 2020 to early 2023. But if you scratch the surface, you’ll see that most all the interest was outside Denver’s city limits and in the suburbs,” Nick Pipitone said in a blog post.If one person is looking to move to a given city and one resident from that city is looking to move out to that place, then that represents...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:46 GMT

Colorado’s craft beer scene has earned a reputation as one of the best in the U.S., but USA Today is making the case that the local distillery scene should have notoriety as well.Craft spirits makers landed on multiple lists in the publication’s recurring series, USA Today 10Best, in which experts nominate noteworthy businesses by category before the public votes on winners.Readers rated Denver’s Deviation Distilling as one of the country’s best craft gin makers (No. 7) and as one of the best spirits tasting rooms (No. 9).

Jayceeoh Reaches Twilight 9: DJ, producer and L.A. native Jayceeoh got his start DJing in n8th grade and took it seriously from day 1.“My passion for music and DJing has consumed my life ever since the day I touched my first set of turntables to be honest,” he says.The artist says that his sound has grown immensely since then.“‘Sandcastle’ and the majority of my album is very musical,” he says. “I am using a lot of live instruments and big vocals to lead the songs. All while having a touch of bass music as undertones leading the energy through the beautiful soundscapes that I have created.”The man also known as Jake Osher says that electronic music is in a good state right now.“There are so many genres and styles thriving and I think creativity is very high in  dance music,” he says. “With that being said it is a very saturated market so standing out is harder than ever.

Why the Warriors could trade down in the 2023 NBA Draft

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:46 GMT

Whether the Warriors stand pat with the No. 19 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft or trade it remains an open question. Whichever path they take, expect their guiding light to be acquiring players they think can play next to Steph Curry and keep open their title contention window.That window will be constricted under the new collective bargaining agreement, which takes effect July 1 and keeps the Warriors from signing players on the open market to anything more than a league-minimum deal. That accentuates the importance of the draft: For the Warriors, a good draft gives them back some team-building control.Rumors swirled that the Warriors might put former lottery pick Jonathan Kuminga on the trade block in order to move up in the draft order. Such a trade would be a bold move for new general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. in his first few days at the helm.If the Warriors don’t move up the board, perhaps they’ll see value in trading down. A move down would save them a little m...

Klein: What the hell happened to the California of the ’50s and ’60s?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:46 GMT

By the time I talked to Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, he was clearly frustrated. “This is ridiculous,” he said. “These guys write reports and they protest. But we need to build. You can’t be serious about climate and the environment without reforming permitting and procurement in this state.”It hurts to get hammered by your friends. And that’s what’s happening to Newsom. More than 100 environmental groups — including the Sierra Club of California and The Environmental Defense Center — are joining together to fight a package Newsom designed to make it easier to build infrastructure in California.For Newsom, it’s a wounding break. “I licked envelopes for these nonprofits as a kid. My father was on the board of the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund for more than a decade,” he told me. “This was my life. But this rigidity and ideological purity is really going to hurt progress. I did the climate bills last year, and these same groups were celebrating that. But that means nothin...

Opinion: Delta tunnel is too risky to bend environmental rules

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:09:46 GMT

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s plans to ease environmental rules and bypass the legislative process to get statewide infrastructure projects fast-tracked would pave the way for California ratepayers to fund a multi-billion-dollar environmentally disastrous and divisive Delta tunnel.The Delta Counties Coalition (DCC), representing the five counties that comprise millions of residents who live in and around the California Delta, strongly oppose the administration’s inclusion of the Delta Conveyance Project (Delta tunnel) in its infrastructure package and hastily considering it in the opaque state budget process.Dating back to 2009, the Legislature and administration have consistently avoided legislative provisions that facilitate highly controversial and expensive isolated new conveyance in the Delta. This was done with purpose. Changing laws for the explicit benefit of this highly controversial project would pick “winners and losers” between those living within and near the Delta (the losers) a...
