Neal Peirce: Slum dwellers' self-census
|
9.4.2010 |
Denver Post: Opinion |
Could it be that African and Indian slum dwellers are more civically conscious than millions of Americans? There's an amazing "self-enumeration" effort under way continents away from us - and more about that in a moment. |

Vail Valley Voices: Vail's building dilemma
|
20.3.2010 |
Vail Colorado: Editorials |
| Editor's note: The following is an excerpt from the Vail Homeowners Association monthly report in February. We plan to publish weekly excerpts from the association, which keeps a close eye on economic and political trends in and outside of the town.
The volume of real estate inventory waiting to be sold throughout Eagle County is unprecedented. Current sales trends in Vail and Eagle County are moving in a positive direction. However, foreclosures are also on the rise.
As of mid-February, the town of Vail has 456 active residential listings with 20 percent pending under contract. Sources report that of those under contract, 70 percent are in large redevelopment projects in Vail Village or Lionshead. There are 17 active listings for land, with ... |

Let's Vote committee: Growth myths
|
28.2.2010 |
Steamboat Pilot |
| The biggest myth: Annexing Steamboat 700 is a smart approach to manage growth, one that fits a 15-year plan for growing Steamboat. Anything less or anything else makes no sense.
No, City Council negotiated a deal that ignores the very principles of smart growth. This deal is not the smartest. |

Residents, planners examine West Eagle
|
4.2.2010 |
Vail Colorado: Our World |
| EAGLE, Colorado - West Eagle is one of the most traveled neighborhoods in town, but it's not one of the most picturesque.
The West Eagle neighborhood is a mix of single and multi-family dwellings, mobile home courts, older commercial properties and a couple of aging industrial buildings. It was developed over a period of decades, well before the days when Eagle instituted zoning regulations.
But West Eagle is on the cusp of change.
Eagle County's recent purchase of the five-acre U.S. Forest Service parcel has been a catalyst for launching a comprehensive neighborhood planning effort. That parcel purchase, combined with the county's four-acre former Road and Bridge Department property, makes the county the largest single landowner in ... |

Our View: Base area business alliance needed

4.11.2009 |
Steamboat Pilot |
| There’s been talk recently about how to fill the vacant lot left by the demolition of Ski Time Square, particularly because developer The Atira Group has indicated it could be a decade before construction begins. But before we get too excited about the short-term potential of the empty parcel at the base of Steamboat Ski Area, it’s important to remember Ski Time Square’s sub-par recent business history. |
