Falconhead West

I drove through Falconhead to get to the model homes in Falconhead West and was pleased to see so much new home construction.  I had driven through there a couple of months ago and there was little happening.  There must be a dozen new homes under construction on or right off of Vail Divide, the main road through the subdivision.

Of the perhaps 80+ homes in Falconhead West, 41 show as sold in the MLS in 2009.  That is a lot of new construction in an area that has seen fairly slow home sales.

Does it bother anyone that the communities like Falconhead West are hooked up to central propane gas distribution systems and the owners of these systems have monopolies without any price regulations?  Propane is the most expensive way to heat your home while the developers share in the profits from the homeowners extremely high propane bills.

Chris - many people love the central propane as opposed to having an above-ground or buried tank on their property.
