Udall represents, imo, the most bizaree district in Colorado......Boulder is most like, shall we say, San Francisco? That city belongs in another country. They just passed zoning laws, not very long ago, that forbid more people living in it than bedrooms.......(let's say, a married couple can be in one room). The reason? College students, who cannot afford the extremely high rental rates there, would live together (apparently 7 or more to a house of say three bedrooms). They'd make "rooms" in living rooms, etc., by partioning it off with sheets. The cost of housing let's say, would be like $2,500 a month (not exact figure, just giving you an example). What college kid could afford that unless she/he shared with several other kids? So, now they have this new law in place. Okay, so let's say that might make sense, for safety reasons, but they just pass all kinds of laws like these there.....punishing those without money and doing nothing to help restrain living costs or putting in lower cost dwellings (I believe they only want the snobs living there, imo).

We have the same liberal elite snobs in the Bay area of Kali that do the same thing. While they are doing this they push for housing for the so called poor. The rest of their restrictions just drive housing out of sight for most people re cost of buying or renting.

Between them and the envirals, they make the cost of a new home astronomical. This drives up the cost of existing homes to buy or to rent. Simple and old post WWII two bedroom homes are now renting for over $2k / month.

They haven't restricted the number of people per bedroom because of their love affair with illegal aliens. They need these people to clean their homes, do their yards, and clerk and stock in their stores. So they allow 12 to 15 adults to live in a two or three bedroom home. Then we have 12 to 15 old pickups parked around the home. If you have two per block, there is no room on the street for to park a bike.
