The CU South Annexation agreement is a one-sided deal that favors CU. The arrangement asks Boulder citizens to pay for major expenses and CU gets cheap water and sewer hookups for their 2,500,000 square feet of development. Growth should pay its own way.

The 2022 IPCC report on climate change points out substantially increased risks of flooding and fires. CU South sits just a few hundred yards from the ignition point of the Marshall Fire.
