Two months ago, we talked about the Affordable Housing “Crisis” in Colorado (substack, 3/10/23) and the Governor’s attempt to impose his will on his subjects. (Have I disclosed my bias already? Whoops!) Then, as the legislative process (the mess) unraveled, we reviewed how a bill becomes a law (Colorado Affordable Housing Crisis-Part 2, substack, 4-14-23…for those of you who want to review or catch up) and now this week, we will go over what happened!
Dave, in your closing rant you neglected to mention that we will no longer be able to fly, at least not until airplanes are powered by rubber bands, said bands manufactured from what I don’t know. No flying, no driving, crammed into shoe boxes stacked at least three stories high, probably much higher if one is near any transit stop or station. Can’t wait!
Dave, the Democrats have all but destroyed Colorado. The state is barely recognizable from the fine place it was to live just a few years ago before Democrat ballot harvesting, with the helps of Republicans like Wayne Williams, in 2014. Now we've become a state where more people are leaving than coming in. Maybe the mass of "immigrants" (illegal aliens) coming over our southern border is just what all Colorado Democrats and too many Colorado Republicans want. Thanks for this glimmer of sanity you present in pointing out the folly of high-density housing development! Sam
looks like we avoided the issue for now. Maybe it was the threat of a law suit that had something to do with it. I sometimes wonder if this wrangling over affordable housing isn`t a test of how far people are willing to test the limits of common sense. Almost every municipality in the state has a housing authority and programs available to help people into a decent place to live at affordable terms. CHFA at the state level does a good job . Fannie, Freddie, FHA VA, USDA as well. Ralph Wieleba
