Stupid Realtors...
OK, so I have to admit, I have a very steriotypical view of realtors, they are all stupid Money grubbing pansies that could not get a job doing anything else. (well not all, but then it wouldnt be a steriotype, it would be the truth).
Anyway, basically ALL of the land surrounding my house is up for sale and the City of Durango had made an offer of $4.4 Million to buy the land and make it a "mountain park" in an effort to stiffle development and maintain that land as open space.
This has been an ongoing back and fourth debate for awile. Finally a while ago the city officially made it offer. Now this stupid realtor is pissed because he is not getting a commission on the deal and is arguing against it.
Here is the current article.
and here are two other previous articles on the subject.
Sept 22: Open-space showdown at Jacob’s Cliffs
Oct 6: Durango, Dalla near deal on land
I guess I am slightly biased toward the city for multiple reasons. Open space in general is NEVER a bad thing to spend the cities money on, andIt would be AWESOME to have all the open space around my house.

$25,000 per acre?!? Holy balls, that's cheap!!!
Here are some land-only lots for sale near me.
0.32 acre - $449,000
9.77 acres - $8,000,000
VERY CLOSE TO ME...
25.83 acres -- $2,500,000
A more modest 0.63 acre - $154,000
I'd cut my woohoos off to pay $25,000 for an acre!!!
That would be awesome! You'd be guaranteed to have a park nearby...unless it got turned into a school or something.
And yeah, $25K per acre is dang cheap. One acre went for $181K right near me. And it was under the power lines.
I guess I cant complain about prices here anymore... geez
