Is there any appetite for something at the federal level, or would this be seen as an unwelcome intervention for something that should be devolved to state leve

Is there any appetite for something at the federal level, or would this be seen as an unwelcome intervention for something that should be devolved to state level?
It's great that one city in Colorado has done something (and I'm sure it's not the only locality), but I can't help think that this sort of governance must lead to a ton of fragmentation in regulations.
- shagie 4y agoNote that that example is for the city of Boulder. Trying to do this at large levels ignores a bit of the differences in housing density and cost of housing in the area. Would it be possible to build luxury housing in San Francisco and then some affordable housing in a different city or state? While there is going to be fragmentation of regulations, a developer working in Boulder is working in Boulder. Building luxury housing there and then building housing in... Federal Heights or Alamosa doesn't help the affordable housing issue in Boulder. Handling this at the city level (rather than state or federal) is likely the right spot.
