The green belt worked in Boulder's early days before many people commuted in. Unfortunately, Boulder's anti-growth mindset these last few decades has priced people out, forcing them to "jump the gap" in the green belt. I think the green belt is a really good thing for Boulder to prevent sprawl (and traffic), but it needs to be coupled with a pro-growth mindset. There are shifting attitudes in Boulder as NIMBYs get more competition from younger people like myself. I hope it isn't too late because at this point, Boulder is in danger of turning into Aspen or Santa Barbara.
