  • What will the affordable housing hacks do now? Kinda puts a dent in the New Urbanist chess board. BOOM! Maybe can start preserving trees versus killing them in the name of the golden calf "affordable housing."

  • I'd be interested to see the impact student housing is making on these numbers. A student apartment can rent for $400-500/month. Slam four of them together with a shared living & kitchen and the revenue per square foot exceeds what can be achieved in Colorado.

    No, I would not say San Marcos has cheap housing. A decent 3 bed/2 bath house can reasonably expect to fetch $1,800/month. Again, only slightly less than Colorado. You want to own here. That same house would carry a mortgage of about $1300/month. Personally, I like that we are encouraging home ownership over renting.

    You want cheaper? Move to Arizona. But careful of that A/C bill.

    • Hmmm... Could be because to of the student housing properties are owned by a Denver-base company.
