Despite my better judgment (the risk of being harassed by trolls) many people on this app feel like friends, so I wanted to share this post about my late father who passed away last week. His life epitomized the American Dream—a dream that often seems elusive today. 🧵

In 2026, Hickenlooper will be 74. In 2032, when that term is complete, he'll be 80. The average age of Coloradoans is 37 and 84% of Coloradoans are under 65. It's time for generational change. I'm asking-- nay BEGGING-- boomers to let go and pass the torch.

Denver, like many USA cities, was walkable and had major public transit until highways cut major cities up & parking lots were forced in. Two pics of Denver from 1920s then 1976. Buildings leveled to make room for parking. The 2nd set of photos are the former streetcar lines!

Reminder, you're not a pro-immigrant if you aren't advocating and fighting to build neighborhoods that welcome them with housing. Say Abolish ICE all you want, but it's virtue signaling unless you are building more than enough homes for everyone who wants to live in Denver.

If you're concerned about the cost of living in Colorado & America: Build more housing, not higher walls.

Denver is not full. Colorado is not full. America is not full. Everyone who lives here should be able to stay. Everyone who moves here should be welcomed.

@gmmerritt I often find these "Colorado is awful, please don't move here!" things not as a joke because the root of the humor is that people would like to keep this state exclusive. The joke only makes sense if it's a half-serious attempt to tell people they aren't welcome here.

You may be asking, why are Republicans and Corrupt Lobbyists donating over $100,000 (btwn IEC & direct) in a Democratic Primary that votes +70 Dem? B/c they know that @elisabethepps can't be bought or sold and will only fight for the working class. That's why. 8/10

Landlords are modern-day feudal lords, sucking wealth without adding value. A parasite class feasting while workers fight for crumbs. You can't have affordable housing when every landlord is using rent to buy their 5th house to overcharge another working class person.

If you arrive 2 hours before your flight, that's a skill issue. Boarding Time: 6:53pm Take off: 7:23pm When I got to the airport: 6:22pm Grabbed Mercantile in Terminal A by 6:40pm Gate C6: 6:51pm No running, just walking. DIA is generally just great. That RTD A-Line too.

*Homeowners* are facing a 40% prop tax increase b/c their home values grew by 40% If the value grew $200k that's ~$110 per month. $110 is a lot BUT where is the relief for nearly half of CO residents who rent who faced 80-120%+ rent increases ($200+ monthly) w/ no value gain

Colorado is telling 11k “at risk” families that they won’t get the 30 hours a week of free preschool they were expecting, instead slashing it back to the standard 15 hours that everyone else is getting. They learned only two weeks beforehand.
