San Francisco-based Swinerton is building multiple projects around Sacramento as it continues to pursue new development opportunities in hospitality and gaming.

This developer says the key to helping the housing crisis is greater density.

The 15,000-square-foot property near Union Square was previously a dance club, which closed its doors last year. Local entrepreneurs quickly snapped it up.

ABJ Editor Colin Pope argues we must do our best to protect the fabric of our weird society and the people who weave it, but we can’t ignore the widely accepted projections that show the Austin area will go from about 2.1 million today to 4.3 million by 2045.

Howdy, politics party people! And welcome back.

Fresh news: Denver’s affordable-apartment..

When Denver Mayor Michael Hancock underlined the urgency of the city’s housing affordability crisis in a speech last summer, he declared: “Many residents need an affordable option today, not a year from now.”

But that’s how long it will end up taking to launch the potentially innovative initiative Hancock announced with those words in July 2017. The plan then was to use taxpayer money to “buy down” the rents of vacant market-rate apartments for 400 low- and middle-income households at risk of being priced out of Denver, with some employers kicking in money to help house their employees.

City housing officials said Wednesday that the program, which garnered national attention following Hancock’s announcement, is finally primed to launch in August — long after the initial target of last fall.
