It drives me nuts to go into local stores and find that people have brought their gigantic, sniffing, drooling, licking dogs with them. I love my dogs. And I know dogs are considered sentient beings in Boulder, and that we don't own them, we're merely their guardians. But dogs don't generally have money and usually can't purchase things, so do they really need to go shopping?

Its foreign policy

Boulder remains a pretty liberal and pretty rich university town, and the result is that it deserves at least some of its reputation as being "The People's Republic of Boulder" and being an "ivory tower" town. We need more economic, racial, intellectual and cultural diversity. We need more people protecting kids and fewer people protecting prairie dogs. We need a little bit more of a raw edge. But, hey, who's perfect.

Nothing. I love it here.

The obsession with prairie dogs and other environmental trivia, the overly tuned bias against automobiles, the embrace of modern liberalism despite its obvious shortcomings, the willingness to spend endless amounts of money on nature as if it were in danger of disappearing if we so much as breathe on it; the unwillingness of so many, including some in local government, to spend money on culture as if it were less important than the environment and could survive and prosper without community efforts or governmental support; the unwelcoming and critical attitude of many in city government toward the University.

The lack of diversity.

I'm not crazy about the Mexican food in Boulder. I miss New Mexico green chile, which is hot enough to call the fire department but also has a special depth of flavor lacking in the Boulder version. Otherwise, I don't have many complaints. I really love it here.

The wind. I hate it.

People who believe in herbalists and shun modern medicine.

Everything else.

Parking meters.

Nothing.

It?s sometimes nice to get away from law school and Boulder and enjoy the rest of Colorado.

The rowdy undergraduate crowd gives Boulder a bad reputation. But, then again, reading about the riots in the Colorado Daily is something I always look forward to on Mondays.

The cost of living

Not having enough time to enjoy it.

Sometimes I miss the bustle of a big city.

Damn liberal-ass yuppies
