However, by 2000, limited residential growth had combined with university and commercial growth to create traffic congestion and very expensive real estate. Boulder has a reputation as a bastion of liberalism in a predominantly conservative state. (One mayor of the city described Boulder as "nestled between the mountains and reality," and the city is also sometimes referred to as the “People’s Republic of Boulder.”) The predominant liberalism, however, is not monolithic; Boulder has a substantial number of conservative and libertarian residents.

Hear what people are saying about Boulder:
"Boulder is a normal sized place that is both in the US and out of it at the same time. It's extremely athletic, and at a great training altitude for runners. The mountains we are under are a beautiful pinkish red in the mornings, practically giving Colorado it's name which translated is color red. It is an amazing place because of how liberal it is. Around 1 corner is a hippy, another corner and there's a leather clad punk, also adding to it's diversity. It is a non-international escape from what America has become. Boulder isn't just worth the visit, it's worth living here. "
"pseudo-spiritual, wealthy place, quite artistic and self conscious "
