[MCN] I have pdf: Goodbye Colorado (and Montana): Subdivision foreseen in '74

[Lance Olsen]

In 1974, Harper's magazine ran an article setting out the future of 
subdivision, aka "development" or "growth", in Colorado. What's 
happened since is more or less a matter of public record, so the 
article is an opportunity to test a '74 outlook against what has 
actually happened.

Aside from its potential contribution to academic, scholarly 
analyses, it's a good read in that it's a plain-language guide to 
what's also been happening to many another US state. And it points 
out that when the fantasies about Colorado get usurped by the 
realities, Montana and Wyoming will be the next targetted states.

I have the pdf. It's a tad faint, but still pretty easily readable
