East is E-470, which is very accessible. Fastest growing is still south/southeast too.
Weld County is an issue, true. Although most of the money building those sprawl-burbs still lives down south. Many people will take E-470 clear around.

They'll be fine. I am not worried about water at all. I think "water conservation" is just masking anti-growth sentiment - there's no real basis for it. 90% of our water use is still for ag. And ag will always sell to urban interests. Delivery may be an issue, but we'll build our way out of that.
