Reposted by YIMBY DenverMatthew Lewis -- living in the era of cults and consequences @mateosfo.bsky.social · 03/09/2026You can't get a clearer example of the geometric trade-off between cars and homes than this: BART is trading 240 parking spots for 760 homes. The 240 drivers who use those parking spots would argue that's a bad deal. What about the 760 *families* who get homes? Cars are undemocratic, full stop. 728666
YIMBY Denver @yimbydenver.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It's rough out there and there is still a lot of desire for living in a walkable neighborhood. Allowing more affordable middle housing could help! Check out www.passhuhc.com. Denver Deserves Starter Homes. 170

It's such an easy way to get people out of cars and onto bikes. (I know some existing ones include Class 3, but most I've seen are 1 and 2) 29214
