Despite Hopes, Incoming Soldiers Won't Bolster Colorado Springs' Housing Marketnew
Take close to 6,000 soldiers -- many with families -- and make them move to Colorado Springs.

You have the makings for a healthy local housing boom, save for one crucial thing: Many soldiers are in no position to buy.

Steve and Mae, high school sweethearts in the 1970s who married others but reunited 15 years ago, have lived in Colorado Springs more than a decade.
