The Denver Dream
Since adopting a "recreational marijuana" law, Colorado has seen a spurt in economic activity and a housing boom that has caused home prices to escalate rapidly. Entire subdivisions have popped up in the grasslands NE of Denver, since our visit last year.
A rapid influx of young professionals (like my daughter, son-in-law, and many of their friends) who hike, ski, bike, camp, fish, and enjoy the outdoors has also had a great effect on the Denver housing market.
This picture was taken from the grasslands of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal NWR. A new subdivision of million-dollar homes, not there last year, is encroaching now on the eastern edge of the wildlife refuge.
The picture was taken on a very hazy day, then desaturated and blurred, except for the Denver skyline.
