The reception of this move appears to be... mixed[0]. As a Denver resident, I'm interested in seeing if this moves some larger offices out of Boulder and into Denver. Boulder seems to be suffering under the weight of zoning laws[1], but Denver seems to be capable of expanding, or at least adapting[2].

- bitexploder 6y agoBoulder is our own mini SF here in Colorado. Housing is artificially expensive and has many of the same things going on as SF regarding zoning. Really cool and hip place that has become increasingly unaffordable over the last decade.
- odessacubbage 6y agoi love how these giant companies choose to locate in municipalities that are either geographically,culturally or politically hostile to expansion & gentrification AND THEN bitch about nimbys. maybe we were better off when the coastalites just thought we were all backwater and racist.
- Balgair 6y ago> The last decade It think it goes back a bit further than that. Boulder has been seven square miles between the mountains and reality since the early 90's.
