"Boulder's restrictive occupancy limits cause harm to many people in our community. Bedrooms Are For People brings greatly needed change to our city's housing laws.

As several city councils have chosen not to address this issue, we fully support this measure and will work to ensure that the whole community benefits from its passage."
