"For the same reason people stand in line at a trendy eatery to eat their morning eggs." And to expand on that, those trendy liberal areas are not red-state backwater counties with anti-evolution school boards, retail scenes dominated by Wal-Mart, nothing but crappy chain restaurants and often no job base except agriculture and/or real estate. After a while, a lot of people come to realize that most areas with cheap real estate are often unpleasant, empty and dull as dishwater. So they pay up to live elsewhere if they can. Supply and demand are an amazing mystery in the universe, huh?

Land acquisition programs since the late 1800's took out 60% of available land from the reach of developers in Boulder. Open space program officially began in 1967.. bouldercolorado.gov I doubt the originators of these programs ever imagined what that would do to home prices coupled with a few decades of Reaganomics kicked in... So much for that wealth redistribution thing the right wing always seems to harp on. How many times has O'reilly bashed Boulder as some socialist utopia?...lol
