No need to argue. I knew he'd figure it out eventually.
Now he knows.
Probably need 20 years to hold the left seat in DEN after all this settles.
It probably still worked out for him. If he bought a house over two years ago in Denver he will make money on it plus the company gets to move him out. He drove to work in Den for a couple of years and made some coin in real estate...could be worse.
