Big thanks to everyone who came to YIMBY Denver’s Legislative Kickoff, including elected officials and candidates from across the region. Four state reps outlined the housing bills they’re sponsoring this session, and our keynote made the case for Lakewood’s middle housing ballot measure

Housing is expensive because land is expensive. Some day we might have the technology to build multiple units of housing on a piece of land. www.denverpost.com/2026/01/21/l...

I’m proud to announce that @yimbydenver.bsky.social has endorsed my campaign for RTD! I’m especially excited to move from “yelling at elected officials to allow housing” to running to put RTD’s land to work addressing the housing crisis. Thank you helping make RTD work for everyone.

New Post by YA Director @laurafoote.bsky.social on YIMBY wins around the country including here in Colorado. Pro housing is a winning message, are elected leaders listening? open.substack.com/pub/politics...

Congratulations to our sister @yimbyaction.bsky.social chapter YIMBY Ft Collins on a giant victory last night where all their endorsed candidates won! Special congratulations to YIMBY Ft Collins lead Chris Conway for winning his ranked choice race on the first ballot beating a NIMBY incumbent!

New blog just dropped 🚨 Parking reform is a hot topic in YIMBY circles. In our latest blog, we break down how our YIMBY Denver chapter helped turn years of parking reform advocacy into real policy change—and what it means for housing across Colorado. 🔗: yimbyaction.org/blog/denver-...

"Parking requirements, in particular, are the most impactful land use policy that inhibits smart growth – and thus they represent the greatest opportunity to unlock climate-smart housing construction within urban and suburban areas."

Great new Analysis by Housing Forward Colorado on how Colorado housing bills can reduce climate emissions, reduce sprawl, and improve resilience. housingforwardco.org/five-ways-sm...

YIMBY Denver members came out in force for this project over 6 years ago. Due to rising costs this likely took longer than Developer David Zucker desired, but Zocalo saw the project through and is set to deliver well over 150 income restricted units. www.denverpost.com/2025/10/17/d...

🎉 Celebrate the end of minimum parking requirements in Denver with @yimbydenver.bsky.social 8/19, 5:30 p.m @ Dulce Vida (1201 Cherokee St)! This is a HUGE win for housing & a more people-friendly city. Share stories & toast a Denver with more homes and fewer parking lots. RSVP: bit.ly/RIPminimums 💪🥂

Our YIMBY Denver chapter is showing people how 👏 we 👏 win👏! These advocates stayed at City Council until 1 AM to demand a Denver that prioritizes people over parking. And guess what? Denver has now eliminated parking minimums citywide! 🔥 Thank you to all our Denver members for your advocacy 💪

Congrats to Denver for eliminating parking mandates citywide! Council passed the measure by a 9 to 3 vote last night.

We want to congratulate @yimbydenver.bsky.social on a successful campaign to eliminate parking minimums in Denver. Housing Policy is Transportation Policy.

Parking minimums are banned in Denver!

Ready to testify for people over parking!

Huge news in Boulder!

Sprawl is having its moment as a possible solution to the housing crisis. But this is narrow, linear thinking applied to complex systems. The side effects of sprawl are as bad if not worse than the problems it would solve.

Berkeley California, arguably one of the most historic NIMBY cities, has now legalized multifamily housing on all lots by an unanimous vote, with an allowable density of up to 70 units per acre. For those scoring at home, that's almost double the min allowance the Westminster Mayor calls communist.

The Mayor of Westminster recently called apartment buildings "communist" in a public meeting now blames the "market" for not being able to build housing she doesn't want. Broomfields rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is higher than Denvers despite cheaper land. The City of Golden had a growth cap.
