Show Notes
Lakewood, Colorado, heads to a special election on April 7th, where a vote could reverse last years push for denser housing. Pro-rezoning groups, backed by developers, have raised five times more than opponents. The pro-side, Make Lakewood Livable, received significant donations from Cardel Homes, Conscience Bay, and the Houston-based Action Now Initiative. Opponents, a grassroots group, have raised minimal funds. The rezoning code, developed over two years and thirty public meetings, allows for duplexes, triplexes, and accessory units, aiming to create missing middle housing in the median price of $630,000. Colorados density fights continue, with state mandates sparking lawsuits from cities, as pro-rezoning groups advocate for affordability, while opponents argue it favors developers over homeowners.
