Interesting article today, in The Broomfield Enterprise,

the local paper. Seems Broomfield is the 9th fastest growing city in the US, and building permits are at an all-time low. Mainly cuz, like Boulder, most of the 'buildable' land has been bought up by the city/county as 'Open Space'. Great, for those of us who already have a home here, but for others, like the 2000 'new hires' at the new Google campus in Boulder, it's a bit of a challenge. Not a big deal for the Google people who are making YUUUGE money, but for the rest it's gonna mean a long commute from the affordable property out east, which Broomfield used to be, for Boulder.
Oh well, could be worse, living in an area that people wanna move FROM, instead of TO.
