I'm proud to see the housing co-op community, ONCE AGAIN, turn out to support housing justice in Boulder: youtube.com/watch?v=zA5JVdBVOQโฆ
Over and over and over and over this whole community is in debt to the cooperators.
12 years ago my housing #cooperative invited #BoulderCouncil candidates over for tea and cakes to talk about repealing laws that make it illegal to share housing in #Boulder. Many years of advocacy to enable co-ops as a special case and multiple city ballot measures and lawsuits later, only now is it finally coming to a vote. In the meantime Boulder housing costs have more than doubled. A live stream of the public hearing:
The first speaker, Cedar Barstow, has worked on this issue for 27 years. In the 1990s she was caught living overoccupied and sentenced to community service (after having to kick out her housemates).
She used her community service hours to help start the Boulder Housing Coalition, a non-profit #cooperative #housing developer.

"Bedrooms Are For People" Song
Lyrics and vocal performance by Boulder, Colorado, resident Krista Nordback.YouTube
Oh dang, car-free renter actively arguing for on-street #parking permits citywide and removal of all parking requirements. Who is going to lose their mind?
First time student speaker! This guy was in 6th grade when we started this process.
Now a housing attorney that serves low-income folks statewide, in favor of increasing occupancy.
Now "Last night I had a powerful vision. God appeared to me. What you need more than occupancy reform is vacancy reform."
Savannah Kruger from the Folsom Funny Farm, one of the first legalized co-ops, speaking to how insanely difficult and expensive it was to work through the licensing process.
(There are 84 people signed up to speak so by all means feel free to mute me for 24 hours.)
One the one hand, it's depressing how many of tonight's speakers were kids when we started this process... which is still not over.
On the other hand, the continuity of organizing over more than a decade is inspiring.
More young queer folks and former BHC co-op members speaking in favor of legalizing chosen family.
A longtime resident who has had their housing disrupted twice due to occupancy enforcement... speaking to the assertion that passing this ordinance would be anti-democratic due to the failure of the related ballot measure... pointing out the the Bedrooms campaign helped get 3 of the current councilmembers elected.
Now Nick Grossman! He was city staff doing public outreach back in the days of Housing Boulder.
He got fired for being involved in a approving an Ignite Boulder talk encouraging people to participate in the public policy debate:

Becky Boone -- "Why you should care about your local government" at Ignite Boulder 25
Enlighten us quickly. Short 5 minute talks about geeky passions hosted in Boulder, Colorado every few months. Get involved.http://igniteboulder.com/YouTube
Now @ChelseaCastellano thanking the Haters... without whom organizers wouldn't know how strong they are.
Ooooh, the first anti-housing speaker. Somone's got balls after like 30 speakers in favor. Of course he lives on University Hill, but he doesn't wanna live near students. Wants to address the impacts first and THEN talk about increasing density. ๐
And now the classic "We need CU to house the students."
Except of course the NIMBYs also fought against the ability of the university to build on the south boulder campus.
I love when old folks who look like they're gonna NIMBY end up being in favor of housing. 84 year old who wants to share their 7BR house with more than 3 people.
A superstar Boulder Food Co-op volunteer and member of the Beet who does elder care... looking to stay in Boulder with her partner rather than needing to move and commute.
And now Hanna George, a member of Picklebric, my former co-op.
Awwww, a NIMBY sad that her compatriots didn't feel like it was even worth speaking tonight because Council has already made up its mind. ๐ญ
Welcome to the party babe! We been talking about this since forever.
Maybe we should just keep looking at this for another 25 years and let housing costs quadruple again!

In today's @Nature, Fariba Karimi (CSH Vienna) and I argue that age limits ("under 40") for early-career academic awards and prizes are discriminatory against women and young parents. A more inclusive approach would use career-age requirements ("within 7 years of PhD") and allow exceptions for extenuating circumstances.
A critically lauded movie isn't necessarily one we want to watch over and over again. Here's a look at "comfort movies," (the article writer's are "Yesterday" and "Pitch Perfect") and what keeps viewers coming back for more. What's the film you've watched most, and what makes it rewatchable for you?

Interesting. The map issue is because your bike share app relies on Google maps?
CarPlay feels like over of those things that would need to be rebuilt from the ground up to be Google free...
@raph I'm really not sure about the bikeshare thing, but yeah, I assume it is Goog maps. Other map-dependent apps work, so I think it is more a problem of a small, nonprofit app that isn't built on the most resilient stack.
e/OS has mircoG, so most Google-dependent services still work.
