$20,000

The building boom in metro Denver continues to be a big topic of conversation among our readers.

And one interesting take often begets a lot more.

Case in point: A comment suggesting that if developers could get away with it, they’d rip apart Lakeside and Casa Bonita in order to build more condominiums.

I have a better idea, just south of there is “Lakewood Country Club;” level that place and build some apartments there, We don’t need all the damn golf courses that already exist.
