My wife and I have been tempted to leave the 'burbs for one of these  
more "urban" settings... right now we have a large dog, and without  
the proper setup, it wouldn't really be good for us not to have a  
decent sized yard...

But you're right... a number of these types of construction are going  
up around the area.  There are days a Downtown job, a LoDo condo, and  
a Vespa scooter sure sounds good.  :-)

Of course, then there's my Ham Radio hobby -- really difficult to put  
up any kind of serious antenna structure in the Urban Jungle... so  
the complete opposite would be to move waaaaay out East, figure out  
how to work from home, and start my antenna farm... they reproduce at  
a highly accelerated rate when not crowded by city lots and  
buildings!  :-)

Farm?  Yep... I grow antenna towers.  And you?  Think they'd give me  
a tax break for farming the land that way?  LOL!
