Tell Boulder City Council "NO" on the proposed Co-op Ordinance

This is not good for Boulder. Not a solution for lack of Low Income Housing. Value of homes may decrease and change life style in Boulder

No, no, no. This is a terrible idea. You are inviting all kinds of problems allowing that number of people living in a property and neighborhood not designed to support it. There has to be better options. This seems badly thought out.

This is an EXTREMELY bad idea!! We all pay a lot of money to live in beautiful Boulder, high property taxes, cost of houses and food for what? So we can have a high density boarding house next to us or even in another block or miles away, this is not what Boulder is about!! You are changing Boulder to the point where it will lose it's vibe and appeal, looking like San Francisco, LA, or any other dirty over crowded city. Please stop - not everyone can live here - and many will no longer want to!!

I don't want Co-ops in my neighborhood.

I've emailed mine in.

The streets are already over crowded with more cars than people per house. Allowing more people per household will only increase the street congestion, litter, and noise in residential areas and will deteriorate the overall quality of life in Boulder.

i do not want coop housing in my neighborhood.

NO!! Please do not allow high-piling of multiple residents into Boulder and into quiet, well-respected and maintained neighborhoods!!

Do not want Co-Ops in Boulder at all let alone my neighborhood.

Thanks!

Please reject this ridiculous measure and do not allow up to 12-15 people to live in a 2000 sq ft house. This absurd and does more damage to our neighborhoods, in the form of parking issues and general overcrowding, than can possibly be gained by passing it. Lastly, you do not have the power to negatively affect my property value, and if you do, you will be sued by the current home owners of Boulder, CO.

As a homeowner, family, and investor, co-op housing is dangerous disruption to our communities, neighborhoods and schools. We currently have many issues with illegal housing issues, illegal fires, illegal parking, speeding and crowding that the city cannot or will not address currently. We pay a premium to own a home in Boulder, and purchased in a neighborhood that would specifically limit the number of tenants per house. As such, Boulder owes the homeowners and taxpayers of the communities to protect their investments, families and children.

Please do not allow this in our tight community where children are happily and safely about. This will cause property values to go down in such a historic neighborhood.

I do not think Co-ops should be allowed in any neighborhood. We have bought in certain neighborhoods for the community that it brings us. Bringing in a co-op disrupts the harmony in the existing neighborhoods and adds burdens of additional parking that is already stressed.

Coop housing in low density neighborhoods? Not a good idea. People have chosen to purchase specific homes because of the neighborhood. Rezoning existing neighborhoods can dramatically change the character of the neighborhood. Increasing coop housing is rezoning.

Co-op housing would be bad for our community our quality of life and is not a viable solution to lack of housing in Boulder.

This ordinance is not the way to address housing issues in Boulder. It's not about the type of people who would be in the co-op, it's the number of people! 10, 12, 15 - it's all too much! These houses were not intended for such use. This is rezoning neighborhoods without home owners consent. Awful.

I already have a rental that houses 4 unrelated people with no landlord on site. No yard maintenance, front porch is a "storage unit" visible to other homes. 4 cars and no off-street parking provided.

Please do not move forward on this ordinance. It does not make sense for this city. Please think of current residence first do not move ahead on this ordinance

Unknown by us, our present house had at one time been turned into a rental containing 6 to 9 male students, with numerous cars and pets. It was eventually stopped because of neighbor objections to the noise, traffic and general degradation of the neighborhood. We still had to pay for extensive repairs of the damage that had been done to the house long before we moved to it. Largely because of this experience, I object strenuously to the present proposal to allow co-ops, or other higher density entities into current low-density or medium-density residential zones.
