NIMBY & YIMBY, meet YIGBY

“Not in my backyard” and “yes in my backyard” meet Colorado’s “yes in God’s backyard.” So, what is YIGBY? HB 25-1169 (2025 | CO), Housing Developments on Faith and Educational Land, would reduce regulatory burdens for faith organizations or schools to build residential housing on property they own. It is similar to laws passed in California and by Congress.
