They claimed that denser housing would help.
Well... 70% of that proposed "density" was dropped via amendment. A bill that had plenty of potential has much less potential now. Got to wonder what other parts of this legislation will be shaved off.

A very good review of the Land Use bill
“Research has shown that increasing housing supply, like building units like duplexes and townhomes, "can" increase affordability. "
"can" or "will" it has potential but affordability controls are week

“[Sweeps,] we predict, will contribute up to 25% of the deaths among this population over a 10-year period,” Barocas told us. “To put that a different way, it means our states and our cities are literally killing people with this.”

Aware of the crack down on folks for sleeping outside? 1st Contact = ID and fingerprint for "tracking" purposes. 2nd = written warning + fingerprint. 3rd = citation/Arrest. Plus a stack of warrants carried to every encounter. Its a crime to be poor in Denver. Why? see below

Nationwide changes like this have led to 0.8% increase in housing supply. (not very much frankly) and predominantly for units at the higher end of housing costs. What about this legislation will lead do different results? We will wait...

When take a tent
"get the person sleeping outside somewhere safe, hopefully a shelter or a motel"

Hopefully?!!" Don't need to take somebody's tent for that. Oh wait, Denver's point is to get them out of sight. Safety is an after thought. Understand?

Calderón says many of the other frontrunners for Denver Mayor are backed by the existing power structure. She outlined her plan to decentralize the power of Denver's strong mayor system and stand up to lobbyists and developers.
"It makes me feel like I was lied to... I think it's wrong since we signed our papers and turned them in, that should be the agreed amount."

If you are not paying the agreed upon amount you were lied to!!

The courts continue to rule in favor of peoples access to public space when housing is not available.
Camping bans are a form of "we don't want you round here " Jim Crow laws. Yes in 2023, and in places that pretend to be progressive.

yesterday, a judge allowed the challenge that @DanWilliams303, @annaikurtz, and i (with the @acluofcolorado) brought to challenge boulder's criminalization of unhoused folks' survival to move forward. it's a first-of-its-kind ruling under the colorado constitution.
"Even candidates who received warm welcomes were not immune to scrutiny during the event."
