    JD is an imbecile, BUT I don’t think he’s entirely off base here. Grandparents (and other extended family members) have historically been very involved in the raising of young children. “It takes a village” after all. In my experience we’ve lost much of that familial help and it would be a huge benefit to get some of it back.

    However, I don’t think Grandma/Grandpa are the ONLY solution to the childcare crisis and that’s where I disagree with JD/republicans.

    Now 100%

    DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado Democrats announced a new bill Wednesday that would eliminate parking minimums statewide.

    House Bill 24-1304 would prohibit municipalities or counties from creating or enforcing minimum parking requirements for residential or commercial properties.

    This would make housing more affordable and reduce traffic congestion, according to a release.

    “There are eight parking spaces for every vehicle on the road, and most municipalities require up to three parking spaces per unit, which can add millions to the cost of building new multifamily housing,” Rep. Steve Woodrow said in the release.

    Eliminating parking minimums would also reduce greenhouse gas pollution in the state by lowering the number of vehicle miles traveled, according to Colorado Democrats.

    “The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas pollution in Colorado, with cars contributing nearly 60% of the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions,” the release said.

    There are no uniform parking minimums for the state, and every municipality or county has its own. Denver, for example, has many different parking requirements outlined in its zoning code.

    The bill would not impact parking spaces required as part of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

    The bill would go into effect on Jan. 1, 2025.

    I love this. The turntable is not a new invention but it's a clever reintroduction for city busses.

    >If we are reviewing the receipts, though, it's quite clear that the early returns on the Broncos' offense under Payton are promising. As the No. 15 offense in total yards, Payton has coached Russell Wilson to improved levels of production. >The Broncos enter Week 4 with the No. 8 passing offense. Meanwhile, Wilson ranks No. 8 in passing yards, No. 6 in passing touchdowns, and No. 7 in passer rating. >That's what you call a top-10 quarterback. >If Payton can help Joseph figure out how to correct the Broncos' defensive issues, and the offense can begin to produce in the second half of games as well as it does in the first, this team would have something.
