As our population continues to age, Douglas County is getting some help in addressing the need for quality retirement living with the opening of the Lincoln Meadows Senior Living development scheduled to open in June 2009.  Located near Lincoln Ave. and Oswego St., the new community will contain apartment homes for 200 people over the age of 55.  They are currently accepting applications for occupancy where residents pay month-to-month for amenitites like restaurant-style dining, transportation, housekeeping services and recreational activities. Two more retirement communities have also been proposed for the Parker area but on a much larger scale.  One of the proposals is a 5,500-home development which, if approved, could be ready for occupancy as early as Summer 2010. Just another reas... 12/01/2008

  Above is a short video of the new skate park in Parker, Railbender Park, which opened on November 1.  It's near Twenty Mile Rd. and Plaza Dr. (about a mile from my home) and can also be accessed by the Cherry Creek Trail.  The majority of the new 5-acre facility is taken up by the skate park which is over 35,000 square feet and has all sorts of bowls, rails, ramps and obstacles, something for everyone.  The town of Parker also built 6 new tennis courts adjacent to the skate park plus a nice little playground.  New outdoor lighting keeps it all lit up until 10pm every night.  I took my 6-year old boy there to check it out and he had a blast.  He rides a scooter but after watching some of the bigger kids at the park he wants a skateboard for Christmas.  The majority of the kids were ri... 12/01/2008

I was shown this web page and was stunned by it, and thought it was worth sharing: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/11/12/155056/91/449/659578 It might not have a lot to do with housing, but it has everything to do with our credit crisis and that my friends impacts everything.  A couple of the charts here really make you pause.  Its insanilty really and I can't really blame the ecomonists who study this stuff and are so pessimistic about life and the world.    To me this is the key phrase: "a parabolic spike is unsustainable" And that has EVERYTHING to do with housing.  Think California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida.  Think of housing prices going up 25% a year for multiple years in a row.  Think of greed.  Its all there.  I kept telling buyers coming in from those other markets that ... 11/22/2008
