- @meltzere I find it threatening b/c process is undefined, clearly impromptu, begs to be hijacked. BVCP update easier to engage on broadly. in reply to meltzere 22:31:19, 2014-09-16
- How many of these quality issues could be addressed by having a citywide design advisory board, like we do already for @downtownboulder? 22:28:28, 2014-09-16
- Cities aren't amenable to modeling like engineered machines. They are evolutionary, non-ergodic systems. 22:19:43, 2014-09-16
- There's always rewilding? RT @MikeThomson22: @meltzere @ZaneSelvans Of course, something was there before the parking lot. 21:58:36, 2014-09-16
- Gotta agree with Dick Harris here: most of Council's statements tonight were pretty vague. At least @sampweaver made a clear proposal. 21:56:54, 2014-09-16
- Interesting that just about everyone is calling for more inclusive citizen input. We all feel left out, apparently. 21:51:51, 2014-09-16

- Sean Maher of @downtownboulder highlighting the success of our city center in dramatically shifting employee transportation habits. 21:19:45, 2014-09-16
- Sue Prant also speaking to the difference between more citizens and more cars. Walkable transit oriented developments break the link. 21:12:45, 2014-09-16
- Has the @bouldertomorrow guy been reading @Kurt_Vonnegut? River of money. Get a big straw… 21:10:18, 2014-09-16
- First speaker seems mostly opposed to more cars, not more people. Which I can relate to! But the two are not axiomatically linked. 21:04:27, 2014-09-16

- I see now why @willtoor et al bought the @MasalaCoop property: close enough to Council to get a snack during less interesting agenda items. 19:48:32, 2014-09-16

- RT @meltzere: Appelbaum notes that comp plan update starts in a month. 18:55:13, 2014-09-16
- Sounds like we're going to roll the proposed comprehensive planning process into our comprehensive planning process. Sweet. 18:52:51, 2014-09-16
- If the "early wins" in housing are any indication, trying to do any of this fast will be a debacle. Either that, or preordained. 18:44:25, 2014-09-16
- RT @ericmbudd: @ZaneSelvans agree. sanitized to the point of worthlessness 18:38:34, 2014-09-16
- So far these are some pretty vague action items. C'mon folks. "Better" is by definition subjective. 18:35:11, 2014-09-16
- City resource sheds are much larger than the cities themselves. Zero is the right goal, but why can't it be regional instead of by building? 18:16:35, 2014-09-16
- RT @meltzere: George K. is cranky from non-stop meetings with concerned business people, community members in lead up to planning meeting. 18:11:28, 2014-09-16
- Plenty of cities have more intensive land use, with fully functioning water, sewer, transportation, energy systems. We could build it. 18:07:37, 2014-09-16
- I don't think setting fixed GHG & water use caps would be much of a constraint on development. We can be vastly more efficient with both. 17:59:16, 2014-09-16
- Different people in the city are going to have different visions. They can to some degree be implemented in parallel, in different areas. 17:54:01, 2014-09-16
- I don't understand the obsession with "build out". Cities don't stop evolving when the land is full. A good city is never finished. 17:40:36, 2014-09-16
- @meltzere lots of disincentives to creating small units in the existing code, sadly. Bad for intrinsic affordability. in reply to meltzere 17:35:59, 2014-09-16
- Do we care about total city resource use, or per capita impacts? 4 story buildings use more energy per land area, but per person? 17:34:11, 2014-09-16
- So far, most of #Boulder City Council focusing on the character of development, not quantity. Wish they'd read Jan Gehl's @citiesforpeople. 17:32:03, 2014-09-16
- @ericmbudd you can read all you want. I'm not going there! in reply to ericmbudd 16:22:18, 2014-09-16
- An interesting take on the moral difference b/t climate adaptation & mitigation, from @drgrist http://t.co/0LhdFaQPar #climatejustice 15:54:55, 2014-09-16
- The @NREL campus is only transit accessible in peak commute hours. Shuttle-bus between high performance buildings, in lieu of pedestrians. 14:51:29, 2014-09-16
- Not a single lunch spot within walking distance. Enormous parking garages covered in solar panels, containing dozens of electric vehicles. 14:48:03, 2014-09-16
- The @NREL campus seems emblematic of what @AlexSteffen has called “The Swap” mentality — new energy sources w/o day-to-day social changes. 14:46:09, 2014-09-16

- Honestly I’m a little horrified at how excited I am about the new @MasalaCoop lawn, but it’s split 12 ways. Yay summer 2015 garden parties! 13:12:13, 2014-09-15
- Catching a stunning view only occasionally throughout the day makes it more likely to be appreciated. We’re blind to the ubiquitous. 00:18:56, 2014-09-15
- I mean, it’s not as if we wander the streets hopelessly mesmerized by them 24/7. That would be phones you’re thinking of. 00:16:58, 2014-09-15
- I love the Flatirons, but can’t we just frame some iconic vistas for everyone to enjoy, & stop using the view as an anti-urban trope? 00:15:26, 2014-09-15
- To what end does society deploy automation and increased productivity? Leisure or plutocracy? https://t.co/cyu17tRQ60 23:00:28, 2014-09-14
