Delay drives up development costs. Support the HOME Act to cut time and cost for projects developed by Non Profits www.instagram.com/reel/DS2190C...

Housing is expensive in Longmont in part because the development process makes it so. Longmont Planning and Zoning recently delayed a review by 1 month because the poster board in front of the vacant lot was the wrong color. That single month is going to cost each home owner $1,000. In what world does that make sense?@strong_towns @launch.longmont.housing

Housing is expensive because land is expensive. Some day we might have the technology to build multiple units of housing on a piece of land.

Why are Colorado home prices so high? Look down.
Colorado ranked 7th both for the value of residential lots per acre and for the increase in residential land values between 2012 and 2022, a study found.
