There are cities that build lots of housing and where housing is cheap (green). There are cities that build little housing and are expensive (purple). There is no city in America that builds lots of housing and is also expensive. That giant red box is completely empty.

BIG NEWS! This week the Colorado State House will vote on a statewide housing bill that would prohibit cities (like Boulder!) from setting occupancy limits based on relationship status! Ask your reps to get this done! Here's how: BedroomsAreForPeople.com/reform
