I don't criticize Jared Polis, our governor, on that. I think he has made some incremental efforts that have been important on housing, but it's not enough to deal with what we're faced with. You mentioned the word crisis. I mean,

I would say where we are in the state is that there is not a county in my state, there's not a neighborhood where people feel like their kids are going to be able to live in the neighborhood that they live in, that they're going to be able to afford to have a house in the neighborhood they're in. That is the economic pressure, I think, that it has created.

the chance for Donald Trump to win an election twice in this country. And if we don't solve for that, this country is going to continue to elect people who, as Trump, you know, said, we don't need a democracy. I alone can fix it. You know, you should expect your public sector and your private sector to be totally corrupt and totally bankrupt. That is a very natural conversation.

thing for someone to run on in a world where people have lost a sense of economic opportunity for themselves and their families. I think we've got to work together to figure out how to give the American people hope that their children can prosper in this country, or in my case, in the state of Colorado, that they can actually live there.

I think that if you take what I just said in terms of objectives, let's build it more cheaply, let's build it faster and let's build more of it and let's do it. with a serious collaboration among every level of government that is aligned with each other and in partnership with the private sector. I don't think we've seen that in any state in America yet. Same thing with education.

There is not a state in this country where people can say, you know what, that's a place where you can send your kid to school and propel them into the American economy. That does not exist out of 50 states. I hope to make Colorado the first one.

I think it's creating more density in our housing and supporting the efforts that we've already made to try to build more transit in the state and to make it more efficient. We have a regional transportation authority called RTD that I think could use a governor's help, let's put it that way, to be more effective and more efficient.
