Total victory for the affluent NIMBY homeowners who always wanted zero new units built. Unfortunately the folks who helped them defeat Westside's proposal in the hope of more affordable/socialized housing come off looking like absolute marks.

Really unfortunate. I’d hoped to get a hat from there someday. I hope they rebuild. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/s...

This past November, I was elected to the RTD Board for District E, and started this week. I've been selected to be 1 of 7 members of the Performance Committee - very exciting! I'm running for Performance Committee Chair too, because I am passionate about seeing RTD perform better. Vote is Monday!
