"Regular" patio villas, over 1100 square feet, go for $225,000 and up. Cottages, verandas and designers are going for 20-30,000 more than just a few weeks ago. This has nothing to do with impact fees, it's strictly a result of connectivity. I worry about the affordability of housing here going forward. It is, of course, good news for those of us who already own.

Looks like not.
