Daily Camera guest opinion by Mark Wallach

Mark Wallach is a member of the Boulder City Council writing in his individual capacity.

This May 28, 2024 Daily Camera piece is a follow up to Wallach’s prior piece about the economics of the airport property and how housing is the highest and best use of the land.   In this piece he discusses FAA opposition to the idea and the myth that we can’t afford to convert the airport due to FAA obligations.

Wallach also compares this effort to the Muni effort, showing how very different the situations are.  

Update: On July 26, 2024 Boulder filed a lawsuit against the FAA claiming FAA overreach and asking for clear title to airport property, see The City of Boulder is Suing the FAA.

In this May 27, 2024 Daily Camera piece Morzell describes how Boulder is losing its middle class due to Boulder’s median sales price for homes of $1,300,000.   She reminds us that not long ago “people who worked in Boulder lived here. They participated in civic matters, schools, clubs, service organizations and more.”
