Yes In My Backyard: Ideas for Tackling Denver’s Housing Crisis

It’s no secret that Denver’s housing market is nuts. But when we sit down to talk about the causes and solutions for our ongoing issues with housing, things tend to get heated, complicated, and divisive. So, we’re looking to Denverites for their “big ideas” to help steer this and other conversations about our city’s future. What can the Mile High do to make this place better for everyone? Today on the show, Host Bree Davies talks with fellow housing wonk Adam Estroff, member of YIMBY Denver and aspiring politician, about what he thinks we can do right now to put Denver on a better course toward more affordable — and attractive — housing.

Check out Adam’s campaign for city council, representing “Lucky” District 7.

This is the Denver Post article about the city's landmarks that Adam mentioned in the episode.
