the weed is a big part of it... but we are just genuinely in the middle of a friggin boom right now. It will bust eventually. I read a report a week ago that Denver is at 0% vacancy. It's so ridiculous. Sure, there will be an apartment here or there, but we are effectively full. Construction hasn't caught up, and won't until it's too late.

Being poor in the Denver area right now is basically being homeless. You can't touch an apartment for under $1000 near town. I know someone staying in a dive motel on Colfax Ave and it's costing them $1280/ month. Crazy times...
