The Californication of Colorado will be complete before mid century. You can see the cancerous growth every day. No one is talking about sustainable growth. And developers will probably build out a continuous city from border to border north to south. Even now you cannot go into the mountains on the week end without being bumper to bumper.
People are bitching about the coyotes and mountain lions eating their cats and dogs. They want these creatures controlled or destroyed. Bears are infiltrating into populated areas looking for food.
Recently on the news it was announced that much of the water will eventually be continuously recycled water supplemented by some runoff. We seem to be more creative about supporting explosive growth that will eventually ruin the state than we are about maintaining sensible growth.
That means wildlife will lose more and more of its habitat to human development. And more and more houses will be built in high fire zones and wild habitat.
At some point nature will intervene. And it will be harsh.
