Cars are not a "symbol of freedom" -- they're an albatross around our collective necks. Expensive, space-wasting, polluting, unsafe, and burdensome. "Freedom" is not needing a car to live your life. We should stop designing our cities around them.

Denver's minimum wage is $15.87. Aurora's is $12.56. Both of these are eviction wages.
If the federal minimum wage had increased at the rate of productivity since 1960, it would be over $24 right now.
The minimum wage is not over $24 right now.
It’s just $7.25 and it’s been $7.25 for 13 years.

Unaffordable housing is a direct result of poor public policy, from exclusionary land use to a lack of social housing. In 21 days,

This is a sobering analysis that every Coloradan in charge of land use & housing policy should pin to their wall & use as a rallying cry to get moving on housing policy reform. The answers to stem this tide are known to us - we simply have to enact them.
