    Aurora makes a lot of national news, and usually it’s because of some absolute monster. What’s in the water over there.

      It’s been that way for years too. Twenty five years ago my friends and I referred to the area as Sadia Aurora cause it always felt like a war zone.

        There is also some oil drilling near the southeast side of the city, generally along Quincy and maybe Jewell Avenues?

      Ironically enough Aurora city water consistently wins awards for it’s quality lol.

      I think the legitimate reason is that Aurora is a physically massive city, has lower housing costs than the rest of the metro area, and Denver has a habit of forcing its homeless population out and into Aurora. The police department is also an absolute good ole boys club who are all terrified of city residents to the point where they drive unmarked/undercover vehicles by default (at least it seems that way, I see so few marked police cars but whenever there’s a collection of cop cars with lights going the majority are the undercover)
