The New York Times on the Denver Real Estate Market

This New York Times story about the Denver real estate market and regional economy is a few weeks old, from January 6, 2009, but interesting nonetheless. The money quote:

"A number of elements are cited as keeping this region afloat as other areas
founder: investments in public transportation, aggressive economic development
and, most significant, a two-decade campaign to diversify the region’s economic
base from oil and gas to alternative energy, aerospace, technology and
telecommunications. As a result, said Scott Anderson, a Wells
Fargo economist who also spoke to the assembly, Denver and its region are
“in for a more mild recession” than the rest of the country."
