Great article. 'bout time someone started talking about his. Everyone wants affordable housing, but look at what you have to pay to the government just to build a house... almost 1/3 of the cost of a home. Then monthly fees and taxes forever. Rediculous. Next article should be about how bloated denver water and Metro wastewater are... Anyone mention that the new plant that metro is building actually runs backwards. Let's see the platte runs south to north and the water in the plant right next to the plant runs north to south so that pumps are required to run 24/7 to keep the water moving through the plant instead of... oh I don't know... using gravity!Even Arizona has lower water charges... Rediculous!
