EDITORIAL: Another Colorado <b>city</b> rejects the density dogma - Colorado Springs Gazette

Lakewood voters said no to new building rules. These rules are called zoning (rules about what kind of houses can be built). The city council wanted to allow more apartments and multi-family homes in areas that now only have single houses. Most voters did not like this idea. They voted two-to-one to stop the change. This is part of a bigger fight in Colorado. Some state leaders want more density (putting many people in a small space) to help make housing cheaper. But many residents want to keep their neighborhoods the same. They also want local cities to make these rules instead of the state government.
