Community Not Commodity, an anti-CodeNext group trying to put the land-use rewrite up for a public vote, is asking City Council to “immediately halt” the process after the release of the third draft.

As cranes loom over downtown Denver's skyline and city center streets increasingly become home to younger millennials (hipsters) and retirees, families are increasingly heading to neighborhoods to the east.

That's because they tend to be more affordable, a bit less crowded and have more of family-feel to them.

Places like Virginia Village are top of the list.

The neighborhood is bounded by South Colorado Boulevard to the west, East Mississippi Avenue and East Cherry Creek North Drive to the north,…

Luxury home buyers in Santa Clara County last month caught a small break. After months of steadily increasing year-over-year sales and prices, the market for high-end homes — defined here as those selling for $3 million or more — plateaued in January.

A $2.38 million loan Re/Max founder and former CEO David Liniger provided to the company’s then-chief operating officer, Adam Contos, violated the company’s code of ethics because its board of directors was never told about it, the company said Thursday as it announced it had completed an internal investigation.

But the nondisclosure was unintentional, a special committee of the company’s independent directors found. The company gave no indication Liniger or Contos, promoted last week serve as Liniger’s replacement as CEO, will face any sanction for the breach of ethics. Still, the company announced changes to its bylaws that limit some powers of the CEO, while strengthening those of the board of directors.

Thursday’s announcement brings to a close a process announced in early November after Re/Max Holdings Inc., the Denver-based parent company of real estate brokerage franchising giant Re/Max, withheld its quarterly earnings report to look into the loan and other undisclosed conduct..

Metro Denver’s runaway population growth and rising home prices are putting the squeeze on local airports, which are warning that roads and neighborhoods creeping ever closer to runways and under flight paths could threaten the safety and quality of life for those on the ground and in the air.

This intensifying push-and-pull is playing out this week in Lone Tree, which has heard concerns from the Federal Aviation Administration about plans to effectively double the size of the city by placing up to 12,000 homes on 2,200 acres just south of Centennial Airport.

At the center of the FAA’s concerns about the RidgeGate development is the prospect of thousands of new residents and up to 9 million square feet of commercial space going up in an area that sits directly under the path of about 500 corporate jets and smaller planes taking off and landing every day from the south side of the airport.
