Lakewood Colorado is now a leader in housing reform and legalizing more attainable and affordable homes. When will Denver and other cities across the Front range catch up?
(1/4) Lakewood just adopted one of Colorado’s most significant zoning updates: legalizing middle housing citywide and making room for the kind of compact, affordable homes the city has been missing.

Denver Housing Construction Benefits Low-Income Renters
Denver’s recent experience shows that when we build more housing, rents fall – and they fall the most for households that need the greatest relief.

Congratulations to our sister @yimbyaction.bsky.social chapter YIMBY Ft Collins on a giant victory last night where all their endorsed candidates won! Special congratulations to YIMBY Ft Collins lead Chris Conway for winning his ranked choice race on the first ballot beating a NIMBY incumbent!
Our YIMBY Fort Collins Chapter saw endorsed candidates completely sweep all 4 races for Mayor and City Council in Fort Collins, CO. By the way, one of their chapter members won one of these City Council seats (subtle flex) 😏

New blog just dropped 🚨

Parking reform is a hot topic in YIMBY circles.

In our latest blog, we break down how our YIMBY Denver chapter helped turn years of parking reform advocacy into real policy change—and what it means for housing across Colorado.

YIMBY Denver members came out in force for this project over 6 years ago. Due to rising costs this likely took longer than Developer David Zucker desired, but Zocalo saw the project through and is set to deliver well over 150 income restricted units. www.denverpost.com/2025/10/17/d...

Our YIMBY Denver chapter is showing people how 👏 we 👏 win👏!

These advocates stayed at City Council until 1 AM to demand a Denver that prioritizes people over parking.

And guess what? Denver has now eliminated parking minimums citywide! 🔥

Thank you to all our Denver members for your advocacy 💪
Ready to testify for people over parking!
