Weren't you just saying the "don't build it and they won't come" model has been a dismal failure for highways? Certainly you agree Boulder's slow-growth model is not good. Why advocate for that now on Colfax? Downzoning Colfax doesn't take development pressure away, at most it merely moves it somewhere else, where we'll have to build infrastructure instead.

These are the fights that we've always known we'd have to fight. What's changed to make you consider giving up? It seems to me we've made a lot of progress over the last 10 years.
