Welcome to Mexico City.
I have a much better housing proposal: Deport the illegals.
Saved me the time. That’s all this is: import more Mexicans to vote for pasty faced queers like Jared.
"Workforce housing" that's a new one to me.
Rename the joint, Coloazul.
“The bill classifies towns such as Aspen, Steamboat Springs and Vail as rural resort job centers. Those communities would be required to allow for accessory dwelling units, and develop regional housing plans that include zoning for duplexes, triplexes and multiplexes. They would also be required to work with surrounding communities to improve public transportation.”
The Aspen area already has good communter bus services all the way between from many miles north and west of Aspen along I-70 and free bus services all around the Aspen area.
WA is doing the same thing, HB 1110.
Intuitively you’d think that opening more land up for development would lower costs but that has been shown not to be the case if it is done by increasing density.
Your neighbor sells to a developer who plops a 6-plex on the lot, now your property taxes double because the “best use” of your land is now multi-family.
I am guessing the cost of getting permits for all this new construction is not going to be adjusted to make that process more affordable.
As a residential redeveloper here in Colorado, I’d love to build their fantasy low income housing, but the land buy needs to be 1/4 of the value or less of the projected after build value. With tight city/county legacy zoning restrictions (2 units on 1/8 acre), supply costs, and slow timeliness that cost holding interest payments, that won’t ever happen. However, easing up on ADU restrictions might make some ambitious home owners wealthy, over the long run, should they build a nice little tiny rental. Of course, after that’s done, the blue pigs will bring in tenant and rent rate restrictions.
I like your proposal.
In Portland and much of the surrounding area the vampires at the government require $50,000 to $100,000 before the first shovel of dirt is moved. Then the “houses” look like two-story manufactured chicken housing. I just drove through Colorado last week (I-70) and it seems to me that there is plenty of land available so that people don’t need to have living rooms that share windows with their neighbor’s bedrooms. I don’t think even the antelopes would be inconvenienced.
Just wait until those who have extra rooms are commanded to take in the homeless....AND pay to feed and clothe them.
“The bill would also block limits on how many people who are not part of the same family can live in one unit, remove growth caps for cities and towns and cut state regulations on things like manufactured homes.”
Welcome to new slums. I can tell you one definite result of this more group housing for rehab centers or even parolees. It also means a major loss of green space such as parks.
I have my doubts about the current drumbeat of how increased urbanization improves the quality of life for residents. That I view as part of climate crisis propaganda.
Question: Does this pre-empt HOA covenants?
Normally I think HOAs are evil but their sole saving grace could be keeping the government at bay with their schemes to carve up peoples backyards.
Sounds like the housing plan that got Ceausescu eventually killed and the communists thrown out of Romania.
Colorado is too far gone, but other states should take notice. The globalist’s goal is to have *no local control* of cities and towns. Policies will be dictated at a level that completely neutralizes citizen involvement.
This is a plan hatched by actors above the National level. It is happening in WA, OR and California. It takes away the power of the commisions from the cities and counties. Makes it the States purview. We all know, the PINK states that call themselves blue answer to a World power. They can put apartments in neighborhoods zoned for single family dwellings, without any input from those affected. THIS MUST BE FOUGHT AND DEFEATED, at any and all cost.
This is simply increasing the power of the corrupt rat cities as voting blocks of rat drones.
IIRC: experiments with rats some years back:
The more rats put into an enclosure—The more they got aggressive & ATE each other
