This post discusses the legislative hostility accompanying affordable housing initiatives in Colorado. 

How recently passed legislation is likely to impact real estate investors and affordable housing developments in the state. 

How the amount of funding directed towards affordable housing initiatives has changed and how these funds will be allocated. 

How the state is incentivizing local governments to promote more density in zoning, expedite the approval process, and subsidize the regulatory and infrastructure costs associated with new development for mixed-income and affordable housing projects. 

The post argues that these policies will create a small supply of heavily regulated, deed-restricted housing that will be difficult to obtain and covered with so much red tape and bureaucratic nonsense, and concludes by discussing the potential impact of proposed legislation and how it is important to pay attention and prepare for what is coming.

The blog post discusses the impact of Colorado's 2022 election results on real estate investments. While voters rejected the "Free Evictions for All" ordinance, the author raises concerns about Proposition 123, which "Dedicates Revenue for Affordable Housing Programs" and provides funds for eviction defense within funding for homelessness. The author argues that the measure falls short in addressing housing affordability in Colorado, as it retains government standards for "affordable housing" that could limit entry for low-income buyers. Developers would likely build units that cater to higher-income buyers.
