I love Denver and Portland, Portland being my home town. Unfortunately Denver is a mess the transit system is not very reliable or easy to use relative to Portlands’ Tri-Met system. Its heartbreaking to see Denver get uglier and uglier everytime I go there…

I have visited all three cities but I live in Iowa, a small state that includes 25 percent of the richest farmland in the world. Iowa has virtually no laws protecting this farmland and land speculators have become rich buying up farmland near our larger cities and then selling it to developers of urban sprawl for up to $40,000/acre. The state has done virtually nothing to protect farmland because it would be un-American to interfere with someone’s right to become an instant millionaire. Meanwhile, the tax payers get saddled with the costs of highways and infrastructure to make urban sprawl happen.

The aloof response from #35 is a bit typical from those who move to Colorado and the West in general, but do not realize the ramifications from unchecked urban sprawl. The primary issue of urban sprawl in the west and other areas of the country is water resources. New homes in the Denver subsurbs create undue stress on the water supply in an already dry climate. I would suggest the people of Highlands Ranch and other new Colorado Residents take a course in hydrology and natural resources before moving to the State and tauting urban sprawl. The other problem is stormwater management and pollution issues that occur as a result of installing pavement and concrete. It’s great that you are biking to work, but think a bit harder before saying “bring on the sprawl”.

The City of Long Beach (CA) Public Works Department would definitely like a copy or two of “Road to the Future.” Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks!

If Denver is unchecked sprawl, then bring on the sprawl. I happen to like Denver’s bikes lane, paths and ease of mass transit. But what do I know, I am just a Denver resident that bikes to work everyday. Though, I do know the light rail extends to Highland Ranch. Opps . . . I guess you missed that.

Denver Rocks!!!!!
