if you're frustrated at the lack of progress on occupancy limits and housing in Colorado, and you're in the Boulder area, please join us: bedroomsareforpeople.com/join-us we are not giving up this fight.
Boulder has had exclusionary occupancy limits for 50+ years I've been working for 10+ years trying to end them. after all we have been through, I thought this would be the year. I was wrong but we're not stopping.
While we wait to “try again next year”, ppl will become more housing insecure, ppl will be evicted for sharing housing, ppl will need to leave the communities they love & call home. I’ve heard “try again next year” for too many years & it gives me no solace. We need action now.
SB23-213, the land use bill, will die on the calendar. I have poured my heart & soul into these efforts, endured very difficult but productive conversations, & would do it all over again for the cause. ♥️ 🏡
