Boulder plan limits growth fuel city housing concerns
Boulder residents and local leaders argue the November growth cap on single family homes raises costs for blue collar workers in the university town while neighboring towns benefit from Boulder’s restrained expansion. Chamber of commerce voices say the policy favors elites and hurts middle income families, with surrounding Louisvile, Lafayette, Longmont, and Westminster gaining from Boulder’s housing shortage. Environmental group FOE urges the state utility commission to require energy conservation data before rate increases, saying savings from conservation could offset higher returns and lower bills.
