September is membership month and a great way to earn a YIMBY membership this month is volunteering. Join us on September 26th as we join Conservation Colorado and the Colorado Sierra Club in supporting a great land use (and parking) reformer, Stephanie Vigil. 1/ www.mobilize.us/vigilforcolo...

You 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.

It'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.

It would be a huge win for public safety, the environment, and congestion if more cities (and states) across the country did rebates for Class 1 and 2 e-bikes. 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)

Outcomes matter. The status quo cannot be a roadblock for the next generation’s future. Only Michael Bennet has shown the urgency and moral clarity required to tackle this crisis head-on in every part of this state. He knows that we can’t afford to have any community sit on the sidelines.

He asked if Marblehead was 'kind of being pricks.' Then the internet found him.
David Modica did not plan on speaking at Town Meeting, yet his brief remark exposed confusion over housing compliance and local candor.

Working Coloradans are forced into long commutes because they can’t afford living in the communities they work in. The HOME Act (HB1001) would create more housing so that: 🍎 Teachers 🩺 Nurses 🚒 Firefighters can afford to live in the communities they support. @yimbydenver.bsky.social #HB1001

The Road to Housing Act has gotten a lot of attention for banning institutional investors. That ban won't make housing more affordable, but the rule changes around manufactured homes could! Lets cut the bad parts and keep the good, and get this act passed.

One thing I feel ought to be discussed more is the fact that basically all rural and suburban places in the US are subsidized by cities. They resent cities. They insult cities. They elect politicians who abuse cities. But none of them could survive without cities.
