\t\t\t\t\"colorful<\/a>A recent article in the Front Porch<\/a> discusses the aging of Stapleton homes and the subsequent repainting of them. Many residents are choosing vibrant colors over the drab colors of their homes when they first purchased them. \u201cThere just wasn\u2019t a lot of color on our block,\u201d said Stapleton resident Robin Becker. \u201cSo, when we decided we needed to repaint, we choose a bright green color that would stand out. Not sure if the neighbors like it, as it looks like Dr. Seuss may have chosen our color, but we love it.\u201d Other residents have gone through the same process. \u201cIt was definitely time to repaint our home,\u201d said resident Paige Barnum. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to do the same old drab color we had, so we went with a bright yellow color. It reminded me of a place I lived growing up in southern Florida. We really like it.\u201d\nAs homes begin to get more colorful, Stapleton residents do not. Recent reports<\/a> show a higher percentage of white people moving to Stapleton than any other Denver community. In fact, statistics in Stapleton have stopped using percentages for non-whites moving to Stapleton and simply use the actual number. \u201cStatistically, the percentages were so low it was meaningless,\u201d said statistician Ben Wollenzien. \u201cThe actual number is easier to use, and more meaningful.\u201d The Stapleton community continues to struggle in attracting non-whites<\/a> to the neighborhood. Until something is figured out, residents will have to count on their homes to bring color to the community.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
