Yesterday’s election showed how local policy significantly shapes daily life. MPP student Erin Mitchell reflected on this after our ballot event w/ @axios.com Denver & Mayor Mike Johnston—one of many ways Scrivner connects students to policy discussions and officials!

Parking spaces can cost developers up to $50k each. Dropping the mandate to have them at all opens the door to cheaper housing and walkable neighborhoods.
Lessons from Denver where decisions to eliminate parking minimums follow similar moves in cities like Austin and Minneapolis ⬇️

Denver study shows removing parking requirements results in more affordable housing being built
Structured parking can cost as much as $50,000 per space, making housing more expensive to build and for those living there.

Congratulations to Korbel Prof. @schaveznorgaard.bsky.social and co-authors on the recent release of a white paper that uses a @ternerhousing.bsky.social simulator tool to examine the relationship between mandatory parking minimums and new housing construction in the City of Denver.
A new study from Scrivner Affiliate @schaveznorgaard.bsky.social & collaborators demonstrates that Denver’s mandatory parking minimums reduce housing production. Using a Housing Policy Simulator, they find that eliminating minimums boosts construction & lowers costs.

Still disappointed I wasn’t allowed to climb it, but grateful for this rewarding trip to a part of Colorado I don’t often get to. Excited to be a part of the Colorado Project’s rural listening tour.
Day 2 of CO Project in Sterling: The power of wind 🌬️
We toured wind energy sites in Northeast Colorado that are generating more than electricity—they’re fueling local jobs, supporting landowners, and anchoring the region’s clean energy future.

CO Project Sterling Day 2:
At Northeastern Junior College, we learned that career-connected learning in rural regions requires in-demand opportunities, employer alignment, and long-term investment and trust.
The future of rural economic mobility is fueled through these schools.

Today’s CO Project discussions included a regional snapshot of Northeast CO's economic mobility and cost of living landscape.
Together with leaders in education, agriculture, business, and civil society, we are mapping ideas for resilient growth in rural areas that can have statewide benefits.
