They are also building a new golf development, which includes around 4,000 acres, in Freeport at Owls Head Farms.

SoWal developers have recently been sinking money into Central America for developments. The name "Panama" may soon have a new meaning to locals around here.

Sure! Here you go Dabell, its a neat site, actually I would love to work with Duany and Plater-Zyberk, I have read most of their research and writings and I agree with most of their planning practices.

Cheshire Village, which is being built in Black Mtn, NC, just east of Asheville, reminds me much of WaterColor, with a mtn flair. I have been there and taken the tour. Well done! I have thought about buying there, but the prices jumped way too much before I could get in.

You have probably already seen this site, but just in case:
New Urbanism
and also:
Urban Land Institute

I love the look of New Urbanism. I especially love the idea of a walkable community. The only thing I worry about is the fact many of these developments seem to be a gentrified haven for the wealthy, but I understand the reality of capitalism and that NU cannot address every last aspect of our country's already existing social problems.
In Denver the old (closed) airforce base has been completely transformed into a new community, with a real town center and diverse, mixed-income housing. It looks like it is going to work, and this is very exciting.
I think I've already mentioned here that my husband will be planning affordable housing for St Joe.
