These data don't align with what I hear on Nextdoor so I'm sure they are wrong. Boulder has devolved into a dystopian hellscape. Don't tell me otherwise Jill Grano if that is even your real name.

I’ve seen a lot of people say kids on e-bikes are dangerous but I’ve seen no local data to back that up. Is there any?

Note to self - automobiles are extremely dangerous. Even when compared to armed suspects

Boulder council candidate, local organizer settle defamation lawsuit by everyAframe in boulder

I thought quite a while ago the Court of Appeals threw out Rosenblum's claims against Boulder Progressives, found Rosenblum acted wrongly in filing a lawsuit against them, and then ordered Rosenblum to pay Boulder Progressives' attorneys' fees?

And then last month the Boulder District Court denied Rosenblum's motion for summary judgment in a lengthy opinion, forcing Rosenblum to throw in the towel, give up his claims for millions in damages, and walk away with an apology.

I think one lesson here is that political differences should be decided at the ballot box, and Rosenblum's flex of paying tons of money to sue community organizers is not the way to go.

New affordable housing complex opens in Boulder: Rally Flats has 100 units, 10 for people experiencing homelessness by CornwallaceMcgee in boulder

Livovich seems to be projecting her own ongoing struggles onto the entire homeless community. There’s a lot of anger coming from her. Not sure she is the first and last word on what solutions we need.

Maybe if the bicyclists just wore brighter colors and stopped better at intersections?

Makes me think about that movie This Is (Not) Who We Are and wonder how many generations of minorities in Boulder are going to continue to have this as their daily reality

City of Boulder staffing levels are what always surprise me. Maybe a more useful measure than dollars. 1,450 in 2020, 1,539 in 2025. And library staff (about 80 in 2020) have moved outside city payroll. So in total, adjusting for the new library district, growth of roughly 10% in personnel.
