He is correct. as is Mayor Paul, who I am no fan of. I own a small business in Lakewood. My office building is off of Union around St. Anthony's. Yes, the growth is tremendous but the units are filled. Dog parks are being built by developers. Tax revenues, badly needed with the Mills being closed, are increasing, as are business opportunities. We have fought specific attempts at crony development and won through the process here in Jeffco, where I also live, not limitations made with a made-up number. Developers will not invest if the market is not viable- why would we fight that basic truth? What if that 1% number is actually too high for density one year, too low the next? Do we REALLY want more bureaucracy making the call? And the initiative also mandates low income housing instead of profitable ventures. Sorry, but that does not limit growth, it limits success.
