People constantly speeding and tail gating. Something I noticed and was a bit unexpected in the suburbs. 17th Ave traffic light timing is annoying with the train in place.
It is a very convienent location. Easy access to downtown, the mountains , and enough amenenties for most things. We really like living up here. The people we've met are all great and welcoming. Overal we are very happy with our decision. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

THIS.
I live in West Springs and it's true - everyone around here drives like a total a-hole. I put up with it because my townhome was affordable... I like the views, good access to the mountains, pending access to the ring road, and decent proximity to my work, too. But honestly the way people seem to "compete" with one another up here, especially on the roads, makes me want to get the hell out of here. Annoying as hell.
Another example is having to listen to the bored-assed stay at home moms try to out do one another over what stupid class their kid is taking and how far they have to drive to get them there (these sacrifices show how excellent of a parent you are to others) - baby sign language in Cranston took the cake. I am going to start bringing ear plugs to wear when I'm watching my daughter's dance lessons.
