I wish Colorado had followed the Montana YIMBY playbook. Instead, state leaders chose speed and stealth in developing the local control bill (understandable!).
But when you unveil YIMBY legislation before building your YIMBY legislative coalition, you end up with a baaad bipartisan NIMBY backlash.

Montana is on track to adopt perhaps the most ambitious state-level YIMBY reform package yet: legalizing duplexes, establishing as-of-right permitting, and requiring that zoning be informed by realistic assessments of housing need, among many reforms.

An interesting thing about the town of Ytterby—just outside of Stockholm—is that 4 of the rare earth elements were discovered in the rock there: Yttrium (Y), Terbium (Tb), Erbium (Er), and Ytterbium (Yb).
