Perennial
No rule requires
we wait
so long.
We need not be so quick
to anger.
So slow to
release.
And when
we return
to our shape
No days remain.
We too
emerge.
Perennial buds
bloom
today.
Fear captures attention.
Agency drives action.
Hope sustains coalitions.
This cuts both ways.
Fear, agency, and hope ain't ideological.
Theyโre human.
The difference isnโt who uses them.
Itโs who uses them coherently.
Whoโs winning in the arena that matters most to you?
The cliff effect spares no one. Why not try a modest annual special assessment (3%) of adjusted gross income/verified household income -any earnings above the qualified AMI% at point of lease up is assessed a 3% (could be graduated as well) charge. 30k over = $900 as an example.
Graduated schedule: 0โ10% above AMI cap: no charge or token charge
10โ20% above: 2%
20โ35% above: 3โ4%
This would be fair and far less punitive for folks and morally beneficial. @jasonblevins@jaredpolis@TamraPogue@HilaryCoop57638
Owning a home is still within reach for many Colorado households, but the market isnโt keeping up.
Condo construction, in particular, hasnโt recovered in nearly two decades. If building had kept pace with early-2000s trends, the Front Range could have added tens of thousands more units. Instead, production has fallen to historic lows.

@ColoradoSun This is not a shock, itโs explicitly written into the measure as an option for the legislature to deploy, should these exact budgetary conditions exist. It ainโt great and it harms the ability of projects to pencil but such is the reality in this austerity environment.
People are not problems to solve.
They are stories mid-sentence
carrying weight
we do not
see,
holding light
they have yet
to trust.
Given the right conditions,
they do not require fixing
to emerge.
Please
go ahead.
The world is waiting.
Finish
your sentence.
Homeowners are rational actors. They perceive the losses to far outweigh the gains of upzoning. When those who stand to gain fail to vote, the outcome is not hard to predict. Democracy offers an invitation to engage - those who do dictate the outcomes. https://t.co/CQpt4SwG0c
