rude people 1.5 rating By stepymartinez ( Jul 24, 2013) I live in Lochbuie, about six miles north, but I work in Brighton. Every day, I encounter the rudest people there.

I came from Arvada ori ...Read More gionally, and was supprised that a smaller city is so rude and stuck up. It's amazing, even in community events, they are extremely rude. I really can't recommend anyone move here, I can't stand it, can't wait until I can move elsewhere. I can't wait. Read Less
