The majority do not do that. There are FAR more students, faculty, and staff that drive to campus on any given day than there are parking spots on the hill. That's not even taking into account parking time limits and other issues.

I think the point is that you would expect median home price to fairly closely track median household income. If the median income is too low to afford the median-priced house, it implies people are coming in from outside, i.e. whose income is not counted in the median, driving the housing market upward.

Cue CU complaining that they have to keep raising tuition because state funding now accounts for a lower percentage of tuition and fees. What they won't tell you is that this is mainly because of rapidly increasing tuition, not decreasing state funding. State funding for the 2014-15 school year was the same as the 10 year average (about $605 million) and has increased every year since 2011. The current funding per resident student was also just about at the 10 year average and is only $944 (19%) lower in 2014-15 than the ten-year peak in 2008-09. On top of that, the state also contributed more for capital construction and maintenance in 2014-15 than in any of the previous 10 years.

Meanwhile, during the same period CU Boulder's in-state tuition increased by $2,030 (28.9%) and mandatory fees increased by $248 (16.6%). That doesn't include non-"mandatory" fees like food, housing, and course/lab/departmental fees, which have also significantly increased. If CU's tuition increases mirrored state per-student funding, I could see the argument. But in reality CU is just bilking people for everything they can. Every time the federal financial aid caps are raised, tuition goes up by about the same amount. Something serious needs to be done to reign in university spending or the problem of students graduating with huge student loans will continue to worsen or the taxpayers will get stuck with a massive student loan bailout while the university gets to keep every penny.

Traveling east/west on highway 36 near Lefthand canyon? Am I missing something?

Of course. They're only interested in public feedback insofar as it helps them refine their propaganda skills. They don't care one bit whether the public actually supports their end goals.

They have to remove any information that might suggest city council was incorrect or misguided. They will present nice simple charts that show only what they want to show.

Not to defend the stabbing, but this, children, is why you don't make "funny noises" at twitchy men who are mumbling and yelling to themselves in the middle of the night.

By wait for the project to normalize, they mean wait until it's been like this long enough that hardly anybody remembers what it was like before they screwed it up. A decrease in complaints doesn't necessarily mean people are happy, it might just mean they've given up.

First an editorial that pulled no punches in excoriating city council for putting their eco-lunatic ideology above the interests of the people, and now a front-page article about a concealed weapons permit holder stopping a crime and probably saving a life? What's happening around here? Did someone from the DC spend some time outside of Boulder and start to discover reality?

Really? A 22-year-old drug-crazed naked guy who just stabbed somebody in the face and now appears to be getting ready to jump onto you from above with a hammer doesn't present a life threatening event?

I'm not going to speculate on what alternatives the officers may have had because I just don't know enough about it, but at the very least it seems clear to me that the police had ample reason to be concerned for their safety.
