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

Parking and garbage are already a serious problem in Martin Acres neighborhoods. Five to 10 cars per house would be a nightmare.

My neighborhood is wonderful and I love it---do NOT change it---we love it as it is. You will hurt all of us in ways beyond your current comprehension if you take our community from us. When I moved here in 2001, everything was near perfect: local businesses, safe biking, neighbors sharing garden produce. YOU have no right to take our community from us just to satisfy the greedy desires of developers, who appear to have bought you. Are you just the worst kind of prostitute? Worst, because you are selling out---not just yourself---but our precious neighborhood. Sell yourself, if that's what you want, but not our community. I think we need to remover our community from your oversight.

We've already got a ton of rentals with college students & condos in our neighborhood, as well as a healthy does of transients who have broken into homes and cars. No thanks

CO-OPS in residential neighborhoods is inherently a bad idea. There must be strict regulations to protect homeowners.

Not a good thing for Boulder

Please stop the proposed co-op bylaw. Existing zoning, height and occupancy limits must remain in place.

I do not agree with the proposed changes to Boulder's co-op ordinance!

We have worked too hard to establish our neighborhoods to now be threatened with overcrowding through the co-op proposal. Please do not pass this ordinance.

I really appreciate the co-op on the corner of Pine and 17th and the very responsible people who live there. My concerns lie with the indiscriminate nature of the proposed Co-op Ordinance and the lack of good measures of surveillance and enforcement. As it stands, it could just be a way to overcrowd neighborhoods and local parking. It could also discredit the high standards maintained by several Co-ops in Boulder at present by opening the door to tremendous problems.

Too much overcrowding in town already together with poorly managed "getto" rentals that compromise our quality of life as conscientious homeowners.

"emergency" growth and density efforts are short-sighted and defy community input.

No more than 4 unrelated adults should be allowed to live in one house

If this goes into effect, it could eliminate all the quieter neighborhoods and reduce the family-friendly environment. From my perspective, it make sense to only do this in select neighborhoods, where the neighborhood wants it, not to have it happen across the city.

I am generally appalled that Boulder City Council is regularly bending to highest bidder big money and corporations, and thus permanently destroying our skyline and our neighborhoods. I grew up here and love what was once a smaller and friendlier town feel. It is now becoming crowded even in quieter neighborhoods which saddens me greatly. Please do NOT let City Council ruin our beautiful Boulder allowing cooperatives into family neighborhoods..

I live in Martin Acres for over 30 years since 1980 . Over occupancy, and illegal coops have drastically affected my quality of life my entire 38 years in Boulder. Boulder has become a magnet for rental and real estate profit taking leaving families out in the cold. Neighborhoods fight for becoming de facto ghettos, like the University Hill.

on my block alone on the east side are 4 rentals out of 9 homes. With the constant transient nature of the community it makes it very difficult to keep trash and noise under check. Co op would only add to more

I'm not against co-ops per se, but I am opposed to rental homes in low density neighborhoods being converted to co-ops. No effective enforcement and unscrupulous landlords will make a mockery of any good intent, and reduce affordable housing in the end.

We are already living near houses with 5-7 renters--there is no room to park, people are driving too fast on our residential streets and noise is becoming a major issue.

No more than 3 unrelated people per rental please!

I like the equity type COOP
