YIMBY: We Can Make Your Landlord Cry

Yimbydenver.org

(1/4) Lakewood just adopted one of Colorado’s most significant zoning updates: legalizing middle housing citywide and making room for the kind of compact, affordable homes the city has been missing.

Less than ideal but it still makes future transit in the area more viable. Onward!

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!

Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Denver settles another George Floyd protest police misconduct lawsuit – this time for $1.5 million The city's spending on excessive force accusations continues.

I suppose I can say it now: Denver Police Department shot me in the head with a pepper ball during the George Floyd protests, but my crack team of lawyers at Arnold & Porter got me some sweet, sweet justice.

We can say both. We can say Republicans never cared about equal opportunity for minorities and women and that’s very consistent with fascism; we can also say that they’ve never been this openly hateful. Acknowledge the distinction between them and now, but also that it’s fairly small.

It would be better if they lived in nicer houses for lower costs. That’s what new supply can offer!

The first results in more affordable quality housing stock and only takes a few years; the second results in poorer people suffering habitability issues and takes decades, if ever. They’re very different, and the literature confuses lots of people into thinking that good filtering takes decades.
