The skies above our communities are an open sewer for tailpipe effluent. One day we’ll look back on the human health toll of burning fuels the same way we look at dumping sewage into streets.

Eliminating parking requirements helps affordable housing units pencil - especially now. Does this mean all affordable developments will not be parked? No. It means parking will be matched to demand. HB1304 helps Coloradan home affordability - pass it. @WoodrowForCO @GovofCO
Government forecasts like the ones below assume we'll drive more in the future and we use these models to justify multi-billion dollar highway widening projects through our communities. This tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy because wider highways induce more driving.…

“Since the city of #Minneapolis eliminated residential parking minimums in 2021, rents have only increased 1%, while #Denver saw an average increase of nearly 5% in just the last two years.” Perhaps Denver should focus a smidgen less on housing cars? 1/2 cohousedems.com/news/house-adv…
Woooo! #HB1152 passes the #coleg Senate Local Gov & Housing Committee 4-3. This bill will allow ADUs to be built across most of CO. Thank you @SenadoraJulie @sonyajlewis @TonyExum & @FaithWinterCO for voting yes and working late!

Biden already officially set the US target to zero by 2050. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law & Inflation Reduction Act doubled expected emissions reductions by 2030 & moved us from the red line to the blue line. Now we need more action to get us to the target yellow zero line.

We have 13 days left in the 2024 legislative session. We have a lot more work to do, but I know every single one of us is ready to put in the energy and time to get the people’s work done.
Before implementing BRT, Metro Transit (Twin Cities) found that buses were in motion only 42% of the time!

Today Colorado's Senate Housing & Local Government Committee will hold a hearing for a bill that would eliminate parking mandates for localities within Metropolitan Planning Organizations!
When OR removed parking minimums, parking was built & so was more housing. One vacant lot became 98 housing units; affordable housing that didn’t pencil out before could now; a fourplex installed 5 spots instead of 7 & included a children’s play area. Thanks @evanmanvel. #coleg
I don't enjoy looking at my bald spot from behind - but I did enjoy testifying in favor of HB 1304 to eliminate parking mandates which drive up the cost of housing, hurt small businesses, and increase transportation pollution!
Jurisdictions have found parking minimums to be one of the most significant levers to building more housing, along with more density near transit. Analysis by @COEnergyOffice finds #HB1304 would more than double the number of feasible infill housing opportunities in urban areas
New: Colorado Senate approves Colorado's first tax credit specifically for renters. Worth up to $1k for single filers, $2k for joint filers.
the Austin Planning Commission just voted to decrease minimum lot sizes to 1,500 sqft!
@MattFrommer Back to the Future II also told us there would be hover cars by now. Not all things shape out as they are forecasted
Late last night, the LG&H comm voted to advance two of my bills: one with Sen @ColemanforCO modifying HOA foreclosure proceedings, and another with @Kyle_Mullica allowing people to build Accessory Dwelling Units on their property. #COLeg #COPolitics
Coloradans need more housing options and banning discriminatory Occupancy Limits and giving people the freedom to build ADUs on your own property will help us tackle this problem. ow.ly/2x8950RngGZ
Please @COSenDem vote to pass HB24-1304 out of committee this Thursday! This is my favorite bill of the session! Local government mandated parking abundance isn't necessary to preserve quality of life and it comes at huge cost to housing and climate. leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb24-1304
“Since the city of #Minneapolis eliminated residential parking minimums in 2021, rents have only increased 1%, while #Denver saw an average increase of nearly 5% in just the last two years.” Perhaps Denver should focus a smidgen less on housing cars? 1/2 cohousedems.com/news/house-adv…

We can build more housing in the suburbs and create more walkable spaces through small retrofits, all while preserving the qualities that make suburban living appealing.
Giving homeowners the right to build an ADU on their property = 🏘️ Keep families in the homes and communities they grew up in 🏘️ Add extra income 🏘️ Give family members their own space while saving money Tell your lawmaker to VOTE YES ⬇️ secure.everyaction.com/VMIQL4u7e0aJ_c… #coleg
