Rigid Zoning Rules Are Helping to Drive Up Rents in Colorado

Like their counterparts in other states, policymakers in Colorado are reconsidering zoning policies in the midst of a national housing shortage that is driving rents up to all-time highs. In Colorado, rents increased 31% between January 2017 and January 2023. Some of the state’s cities and towns saw rents rise even faster during that time, including Castle Rock (53%), Colorado Springs (47%), Loveland (42%), and Fort Collins (37%).

Have Leslie Stahl or any of the producers of 60 Minutes commented on that train wreck?

Pro-Life needs to be retired as a descriptor for the Forced Birth movement.

Pro-Life people would want our society to have healthcare.

Pro-Life people would want to restrict access to weapons of war.

Pro-Life people would want to explore pregnancy related mortality in the African American community.

These people don’t give a rats ass about ‘life’ they want to make women property. Same as it ever was for them. Conservatives only want to conserve a white fascist Christian patriarchy.
