I just hope the home designs are going to be something spectacular and unique. How dreadful it would be if after all this talk of Mesa del Sol being something new in Albuquerque, with new urbanist ideals, we get a bunch of Ventana Ranch/Loma Colorado-type homes. Looking at the list of home builders I fear we just might.

What in particular do you find distasteful about those homebuilders or home designs?

I like Ventana Ranch, just did not like the traffic. As far as I am concerned there is nothing wrong with Loma Colorado. Had it been built about 30 years earlier when we had kids at home and if I had money then, I would have snapped one up. I have lived in a lot worse housing in my life.
They don't build/they aren't new urbanist-type homes.
I imagine most of those builders are large enough that they have a whole range of different homes available in different contexts. I would be surprised if they came up with cookie cutter versions identical to what you'd find in bedroom communities on the west bank, though they may not necessarily reflect the "new urbanist ideal" as some people may see it.
With perhaps an exception or two, I have been surprised how fiercely supportive of these homebuilders homeowners I've met have been in terms of the quality and satisfaction of the home purchase; surely if that aspect is maintained and ForestCity Covington has set forth covenants or restrictions to keep it from being typical sprawl, there's much to look forward to.
Just curious if you have had to slave, save and sweat to own your own home. We (my wife and I) did... And thank goodness for the GI Bill...
Like I said "there is nothing wrong with Loma Colorado. Had it been built about 30 years earlier when we had kids at home and if I had money then, I would have snapped one up. I have lived in a lot worse housing in my life."
