Moving to an outer ring is the same trend with about everyone I knew living in Capitol Hill when I did back in 2010.
It all comes down to picking your poison. Do you want to spend all of your money living downtown for the walkability / amenities of it all, or would you rather live 3-6 miles outside of it, and have money to actually go do things such as events and concerts, being able to afford gas to drive to the mountains, etc, etc.

I agree 100%, it is pretty ridiculous for the pay scale offered for non-engineer/tech jobs in Denver. It will be very interesting to follow over the next several years. I live in Clayton and the home prices are getting stupid in our 'hood as well.
