I took my sister Susan's dog Blackberry for a walk around the neighborhood west of the University of Denver the other day, as seen in the above photograph, and once again was surprised at all the scrape-offs and new construction going up. This Denver neighborhood has always consisted of very modest houses built for veterans and their families after the Second World War. More and more of these homes are being torn down and replaced by McMansions. It used to be that the nearby Washington Park and University Park (east of campus) neighborhoods were the favorite targets for these scrape-offs, but perhaps even rich people can't afford the real estate prices there anymore. Maybe they should set up GoFundMe pages asking for financial help, and in the process explain why they can't be expected to live in the bungalows and modest frame houses that are already there. I'd just love to hear the answer to that one.
