Walking the talk in Highlands Ranch.

Being a resident in the eastern hall of Highlands Ranch, I am pretty offended by your article ("A lovely walk," Jeff Rundles, July)--lumping the city into a far-flung development and (saying) we could see our property values "plummet" due to its "walk-ability." Having said this, I would assume that you really have not done much research on the amount of parks and open space trails in the area.

In addition, many newer homes are much more energy efficient than older homes, giving them a lower carbon footprint than smaller older homes. I would rather have the larger more efficient home myself if it is offering the same carbon footprint, since so many people seemed concerned with this.

Personally, I think people like to write about this more than they really care about it, since you can only do so much...
