I think the spaces are touching on a unique element. Uniqueness, There is a movement to be your own person and create your own style within a high density space. Is the individuality of the spaces actually starting to be so unique that it is starting to look the same? What is truly fresh and new? I do not live in a new urbanist project either.

What is truly fresh and new?

They’re less expensive and interconnected like an inner city with dog parks, coffee shops, restaurants and markets (though I think the Holiday doesn’t have a food store). Nothing beats being in the center of it all but as realtor prices rise, and availability near the infamous Pearl St is limited, the next best thing is an urbanist community if you want to be closer to something other than a neighbor in the "suburbs". I wonder, will the architecture withstand time? What’s the value in these developments vs living in town or a place next to the flatirons? I’m not a member of these communities but support my friends who live there and would consider moving into one if the prices were reduced.... it's not really a city, so though it's an expensive development, let's not pass on the cost and pretend it is one.
