Boulder’s housing challenges are often framed as a lack of space—but what if that’s just a myth? In a recent piece for Boulder Reporting Lab, Brian Keegan, assistant professor of Information Science and fellow at the Institute of Behavioral Science, challenges assumptions about population, policy, and who gets to call Boulder home. Keegan draws on research and historical data to explore how narratives of scarcity shape exclusionary policies. He also advises on what we can do to create a more inclusive future for Boulder.
