Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher had a winning track record in his 15-year coaching career, but the N.C. State University alum didn't have as much luck in the Raleigh real estate market.

In August, Cowher sold his 6,500-square-foot mansion that backs up to the Oaks at North Ridge Country Club for $1.845 million, after initially listing the home in April for nearly $2.4 million.

The price tag doesn’t come close to the investment that the football coach pumped into the home.

Mixed-use projects gain steam in cities like Dublin, Walnut Creek, Pleasanton and Oakland. Skyrocketing rents and a bursting-at-the-seams housing supply have pushed municipalities and lawmakers closer to embracing speedier transit-oriented development.

When JBG Smith Properties began planning Crystal City's Central District, the developer wanted feedback from a broad segment of the community on the multifaceted project — not just the typical handful of citizens who have the time to testify at public hearings.

JBG Smith (NYSE: JBGS) Executive Vice President Andrew Van Horn said the company found a fix: Boston-based CoUrbanize, whose technology platform allows developers to gather feedback from community members via text, social media and comments…

Jeremy Papasso, Daily CameraThe Boulder City Council scheduled a Tuesday emergency vote on a measure that will either temporarily outlaw large homes or make them more expensive to build.Boulder’s move to limit the spread of “McMansions” is speeding up, as the City Council scheduled an emergency vote for Tuesday night on a measure that will either temporarily outlaw large homes or make them more expensive to build.

At a Monday morning agenda meeting, council members added a public hearing to the next day’s meeting, at the request of Councilwoman Lisa Morzel. Up for consideration is an ordinance that would temporarily stop the city’s processing of permits for homes larger than 3,500 square feet on lots 10,000 square feet or larger.

Those particular numbers were chosen because of a 2016 report from the Daily Camera that highlighted the proliferation of big, new houses in Boulder’s many low-density neighborhoods. Two-thirds of all houses built since 2010 were 3,500 square feet or larger,..

“The OEHHA chronic benzene REL considers several studies published after USEPA’s 2002 benzene assessment, which found increased efficiency of benzene metabolism at low doses, decreased peripheral blood cell counts at low doses (800−1860 μg/m3)…”

It takes another 20 words — with terms like “metabolic enzymes” and “benzene detoxification” — to close out this sentence from a recent University of Colorado study that looked at the potential health impacts of Front Range oil and gas operations. Thousands of equally abstruse passages fill hundreds of other studies from around the world examining the effects of drilling and hydraulic fracturing on human health.

Welcome to the science behind Proposition 112, the oil and gas setbacks measure that will likely be among the most complex ballot issues to ever go before Colorado voters.

The initiative aims to increase the required distance of any newly drilled wells from homes, schools and water sources to 2,500 feet. The current setback is 500 fe..

Huffington Post reporter Michael Hobbes posed two questions to a panel of Boulder housing leaders at a Monday evening event trained on the region’s current affordability crisis: “How did we get here,” and less directly, what do we do about it next?

For Boulder County leaders and its increasingly priced-out residents, the answers are both as urgent and familiar as perhaps they have ever been, officials say.

The conversation came during the fourth stop on the “Listen to America: A Huffpost Road Trip,” a two-week journey throughout five Western states to “highlight under-covered communities and issues.”

Naturally, in Boulder County, the conversation would steer toward the woes and remedies of the housing market.

An extra $400 million will be needed to fund Boulder County’s affordable housing plans over the next 16 years, according to information released in June by the Regional Housing Partnership.
