This is a good choice for a rainy evening.    We’ll be there to learn and ask questions.   Join us!

Four guest speakers from outside of Colorado will share their insights, examples of best practices, and observations about Boulder’s housing challenges, then answer questions.

Following a brief introduction at 6 p.m., guest panelists David Doezema, Karen Chapple, Doug Engmann, and Molly Kaufman will discuss: 

● Economics of development, including the impacts of job growth on housing demand; 
● Relationship between housing supply and housing costs; 
● Psychological effects of change in a community; and 
● Strategies to ensure that development benefits the community. 

From 7 to 8:30 p.m., the four panelists will answer questions from the audience about other communities’ experiences and how the lessons learned elsewhere can be applied to Boulder’s housing challenges. 

Event attendees will also be invited to share their opinions by responding to a series of questions via keypad polling. The city’s Housing Boulder project aims to identify community priorities for action and specific tools to address Boulder’s housing challenges. 


The meeting will be broadcast live on Comcast Channel 8 and streamed live on BoulderChannel8.com. You can also watch the recorded meeting on the Channel 8 website, beginning on Wednesday, April 29.
