The only reason they have an affordable housing crisis is they used the tax money of those who can't afford housing to buy rich people large backyards aka "open space" or what Thomas Sowell calls "housing bans".

And in the early '90s, the Boulder City Council seriously considered a proposal to build affordable housing and invite the "disadvantaged" of Denver to move in, because of a concern that Boulder lacked "diversity," in that so few poor people lived there. They were the laughing stock of Colorado. There reason so few poor people lived there was that they set aside so much "green space" that there is no where to building new housing, affordable or otherwise, unless you are a millionaire (or, apparently you can get the city to condemn a perfectly good business for you.)
