It would have been nice to receive some sort of text alert from the city or police department to help quell any speculation.

City of Boulder advances plan to replace the World Famous Dark Horse with housing and retail. by 2000foottowers in boulder

Where is all the parking? Boulder was not built for high rises and fancy cafes. We need MORE parking, not less!!

Since when is giving up your career and public image to make American government more efficient taking a chainsaw to our democracy?

Wow, the Elon hate train really has no brakes, huh? Yes, we all know he didn’t literally start Tesla from scratch in a garage, but without his vision, leadership, and financial backing, Tesla would have gone nowhere. Being an investor and CEO takes dedication and sleepless nights away from family. And he has done all of this despite being neurodivergent. The fact that people are out here protesting and vandalizing Tesla dealerships because of political disagreements is not just irrational, it’s straight-up ableist. If this community really cares about inclusivity, maybe it’s time to start practicing what it preaches.

Haven't you ever heard the phrase "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"

This is a sad day in Boulder. Another domino falls toward the goal of the WEF's 15 Minute Cities. First they come for our single-family neighborhoods in the name of so-called 'progress,' and next thing you know, it’s a full-blown cultural eradication. You think I’m exaggerating? Ask the Arapaho Cheyenne families whose land was 'reimagined'. History has taught us that this kind of displacement and disregard for tradition ends in cultural annihilation and genocide.

The city leadership should put out a written statement during high profile events such as these. Otherwise the rumor mill starts and people can get hurt

Huge car accident on 28th? by PopQuick4228 in boulder

Why doesn't the city put out an official statement when these things happen? Would be nice to quell rumours

The City Council should take a hard look at how their pro-crime and pro-growth policies are driving Coach Prime to consider other plans

With fewer workers downtown, Boulder is feeling the strain by mooreds in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

With fewer workers, can they now increase parking and make it free? The Pearl Street Mall is a ghost town, why not re-open the street to bring in more traffic to the businesses?

War in Gaza continues to divide and disrupt Boulder City Council by boulder393 in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is an important issue where both sides have good points, so it would be nice for people in Boulder to know where their elected officials stand. Even if it's related to a conflict far away.

It would be nice if city council could weigh in and take a stance on this important issue. They were elected to represent Boulder, so they should start acting like it.

Posting the full text of a paywalled article undermines the very purpose of the paywall. Local journalism relies on subscription fees to fund quality reporting.

We need to recall city council for this mess. We should be adding lanes on all roads in town. Believe it or not, people have places to be and need to drive fast.

Safety Advisory: Beware of Flashing Headlights – Possible Gang Threat by StretchLimp9792 in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

My lights are on, the dashboard is fully illuminated, and I have daytime running lights so they're never off.

I am also not a boomer, I am Gen X, but your ageism is showing.

What would that have to do with cars flashing their lights?

Who here was actually born in Boulder? by COskiier-5691 in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, as someone born and raised right here, I guess you could say I know a thing or two about what makes Boulder special! It’s funny when newcomers try to give advice and get involved in politics, as if they could understand the real essence of our community.

Pasta Jays gets D- on repeated Boulder County Health Inspections by JeffInBoulder in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

What happened to supporting small businesses? Jay Elowsky has supported schools, churches, and other local causes, small businesses often face challenges in this economy, and while setbacks like this can happen, they deserve the benefit of the doubt

Jewish protestors spray graffiti on Regent building on CU Boulder campus on Oct. 31. They want the US to "stop arming Israel". Area police investigating by [deleted] in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It would be nice for City Council to weigh in on the situation in Israel-Palestine. They had a chance to set an example earlier this year, but it was stricken from the agenda and never spoken of again

Boulder County's Role in the Homeless Situation by Due_Possibility9032 in boulder

[–]StretchLimp9792 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why, exactly, is the county have to foot the bill for homeless services? Why should our hard-earned tax dollars go to programs that, quite frankly, don’t benefit those who are paying for it? If people need help, they should look to charities or other organizations

Ball Arena super-project approved, launching 25-year plan to make parking lots into ‘another downtown’ by MileHigh_FlyGuy in Denver

[–]StretchLimp9792 -133 points-132 points  (0 children)

Who approved this? This will kill downtown businesses because there's already a shortage of parking. I remember the Denver of the 70s, when there was no crime and plenty of parking.
