The Rockies were a strike away from victory in Thursday’s matinee at Chase Field but folded instead when closer Pierce Johnson blew his first save of the year to send the Diamondbacks to a 5-4 walk-off win.Rookie outfielder Corbin Carroll delivered the two-RBI single in the ninth off Johnson that gave Arizona its first four-game sweep over Colorado in 21 years and sunk the Rockies further into the basement of the National League West.Arizona, meanwhile, moved into a tie with the Dodgers for first place in the division with the comeback victory that erased a strong outing from Colorado right-hander Connor Seabold and the would-be winning homer from rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar.Seabold threw 5 1/3 innings and was tagged for one earned run, with five strikeouts to two walks. But the bullpen leaked oil into the ninth before Johnson (11-of-11 on save chances coming in) gave away the game.“(Johnson) is not invincible,” Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters. “...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:29:59 GMT

Homebuyers in 2023 are questioning whether conventional neighborhoods work well for them. Many are now more acutely sensitive to isolation from neighbors — the possibility of living among people you rarely see or interact with. It’s hard to know if a prospective community will be friendly.Mission Peak Village members gather to play soccer over the weekend. Members of Mission Peak Village believe finding a home should be more than a real estate transaction; it is a lifestyle choice. Residents are their own developers with an active role in building homes on a site that meets their own rigorous criteria.

By move-in time, they will already be a connected community of intergenerational neighbors.Mission Peak Village didn’t invent this approach. The group adopted an intentional community model called cohousing, introduced to North America in 1988 by architects Kathryn McCamant an...
