Destroying Livelihoods

The proposed high-end student housing project, called 2700 Baseline, actually on Moorhead at 27th Way, is yet another instance of corporate interests disrupting livelihoods and wiping out small business, exactly what happened with the University’s Limelight Hotel on the Hill. Big-money capitalism backed by the City Council, the Planning Department, the Chamber of Commerce, and the University of Colorado is sucking the life out of Boulder, and loves doing so.

“Laughing all the way to the bank” is a phrase that comes to mind. Change is a universal constant. Boulder will never return to the way it was. The corporate constant is to maximize profit. In the eyes of developers and unfortunately many city officials, CU students, their parents’ pocketbooks, and the residents of Boulder are regarded as open targets for exploitation. Change is what one makes of it. This project does nothing for affordable housing nor does it provide realistic outlets for the residents of Martin Acres.
