🧵 UHC needs to start somewhere. But starting with transit-priority streets is a mistake, overindexing the central, oldest areas in Denver. There's a greater density of transit-priority streets here, in part because of density and in part due to a past history of transit provided
With all due respect to the intelligent people who worked on UHC, this can't be the final proposal.
Upzoning w/n a 1/4 mile of a transit area sounds reasonable... but look at the holes left out of neighborhoods and Council districts by 1/4 mile. These discrepencies are dumb!

We're a week out from Denver entering a top-10 latest first snow on record, and 9 days away from a top-5 latest. Top-10 is a lock, top-5 looks very likely.
Buuuut...looks promising that we get on the board somewhere in the 3rd or 4th week of November with a pattern flip.

An ADU comes to the alley behind the Odyssey, adding just another little home to a neighborhood of many homes. This project benefitted from design changes, allowing external second-floor entry/stairwell, dormers, and a balcony.

Really interesting graphic, and I find myself thinking, if, over the next 20 years, we can make Denver more like a different city on this list, which would we want to expend our efforts and implement policy getting to? Why?

Haters will say things like “OKC,” but to do that the only functional way would be for Denver to annex Aurora or Lakewood, and haters definitely do not want that to be the future!

87 only needs a majority because it removes rather than adds something to the Constitution and the rest is written to statute

All of this news coverage about Amendment 87 is misleading. Amendments need 55% to pass, or are we all wrong? Cause I think none of these articles are mentioning a higher threshold! @brianeason am I missing something or should that caveat be included in your coverage

Big clean power milestone in Colorado!
More than half of the state's power across the year is now generated from wind, solar, and a bit of hydro.
Wind and solar power have more than tripled in the last decade, pushing fossil power below 50%, down from over 80% in 2015.
