Colorado may soon allow unlimited roommates per household

In a controversial move, Colorado is considering legislation that would remove caps on the number of unrelated roommates allowed in a single dwelling, a policy shift aimed at addressing housing affordability but raising significant concerns among residents. Critics argue this could exacerbate existing issues in cities like Denver, where the mayor has already faced backlash for handling the migrant crisis and homelessness, with a notable rise in the homeless population and cuts to city services due to financial strain. Supporters of the bill see it as a necessary step towards alleviating the housing crunch, but opponents fear it will lead to overoccupied homes and strain on local resources, potentially transforming neighborhoods and impacting quality of life. This proposal highlights the ongoing debate over how best to manage housing and urban development in a way that balances growth with community standards.
