NIMBY in Littleton
Krista Kafer, a columnist at the Denver Post, adjunct professor, and broadcaster, writes an insightful take on the push to block everything but Single-Unit Homes and rental apartments from Littleton. Her January 2025 piece is worth revisiting as the city's voters consider a Charter Amendment to lock housing uses to January 2025, permanently. "Growth is good. And it need not change the character of a city; in fact it often improves it. I grew up in the Columbine High School area when Downtown Littleton was seedy and threadbare. The influx of new residents and new diverse housing from condos to million dollars homes and new and updated commercial districts make it the vibrant city it is today."
