I am afraid Boulder has disappointed me. I was hoping for something along the lines of Hebden Bridge / Todmorden, but bigger, since everyone says it's the best place in the US to live, is totally right on and wonderful in every way.
It is true that the place is full of cyclists, ethical furniture shops and stoner-ish students. Sweetly, its bus lines have names like hop, skip and jump. But it's also the yuppiest city I've ever been to - so it is full of oxygen bars, smug people, over-priced restaurants and travel agents specialising in Nepal and Tibet.
And the most beggars I've seen since I arrived in the states - with signs saying things like "way beyond hungry" and "punched (in the face!) and hungry".
