Strong Denver applauds the city for zeroing in on the right problem — unaffordable housing. But this is the wrong solution, and we urge a “no” vote., which points out that the Denver area has failed to produce sufficient housing to keep pace with population growth, such that 500,000 new homes are needed by 2050. It further cites other studies showing that there will be a shortfall of 50,000 units for lower-income people in the city.
These and other reforms have been proposed over and over again by housing experts. Similar reforms have also proven to be effective in broadly reducing housing costs in other cities. Without such changes, many of Denver’s most cherished neighborhoods and main streets would be illegal to replicate. Yet our city ignores all these solutions in this ballot measure.
