I enjoy living here, but it has nothing to do with where the city may fall on the political spectrum. Indeed, it may be despite where it falls on the political spectrum. The location of my employer brought me here. Climate, moderate real estate cost, and my now-adult children putting down roots here have prompted me to stay.

However, I would be curious to see how you conclude that people choose to live in Denver specifically because it’s “one of the most liberal cities in the country”. San Francisco is a liberal city; it’s also a great place to live. New York is a liberal city; I wouldn’t live there on a bet. Dallas is probably less liberal; also wouldn’t live there.
