Show Notes
Is your neighborhood ready for “gentle density”? The city’s community planning and development office is starting work on a project to bring missing middle housing — duplexes, fourplexes, etc. — to more Denver neighborhoods, and that means some neighbors are gearing up for a fight! City Councilman Kevin Flynn represents southwest Denver and was re-elected after he warned against so-called gentle density. So today he joins producer Paul Karolyi to talk about Denver’s housing challenges and a variety of other hot-button issues facing the city, including the mayor’s controversial budget proposal for 2026 and a couple ballot measures Denverites will be deciding next month.
