Here are the only statements I’ll agree with:

But the bigger problem is that Colorado leaders promoted growth, solicited growth, but never planned for growth. Despite what petitioners say, Colorado isn’t full. Our infrastructure, however, is way over capacity.

That’s quite true. The rest of the blather, however, is quite bad.

I’m not from, nor have ever been to Colorado, but it seemed pretty reasonable to me. What’s so bad about it?

The problem isn’t that Colorado is full, the problem is that a stupid amount of people are moving here and they all move to one part of the state, I.E, the front range line from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. That part of Colorado is crowded and rent prices are outrageous. Eastern Colorado is all empty plains and nobody lives there. That and our infrastructure sucks. We need to invest heavily in our ageing roadways and develop more on the eastern and southern parts of Colorado

Makes sense, the same kind of thing happened in places like San Fransisco and Brooklyn.

IMO the best way to keep those housing prices down is to eliminate zoning restrictions and embrace sprawl, but that requires incredibly robust infrastructure. e.g. Houston. The main downside is incredibly long commutes; and even Houston isn’t immune to the positive feedback cycle of skyrocking prices of housing in the in-demand areas leading to developers prioritizing high margins “luxury” apartments in those areas, which drives up prices and taxes and pushes affordable housing further and further from where people work.
