== Co-operative Housing ==
== Organizations in housing / land-use ==▼
Co-operative (co-op) housing has become an increasingly used option in Boulder. For many years, co-ops were essentially illegal, as Boulder's bylaws stipulated occupancy numbers of not more than three or four unrelated individuals.

Boulder's ordinances have changed to include co-op housing but the bylaws still do not appear to meet the needs of co-op residents and new co-ops have met resistance in the community and at the City.

Better Boulder advocates for a range of smart development initiatives: affordable housing, walkable communities, sustainable transportation, infill development, environmental stewardship, and inclusiveness.
