<br />OQJ73'! <br /> <br />a. Continuation of Uncontrolled Population Growth <br /> <br />At the present time, the State of Colorado makes no <br />effort to guide population growth to or from any particu- <br />lar area in the state. Most of Colorado's growth occurs <br />in the Front Range area and most of that growth is in the <br />Denver Metropolitan Area. <br /> <br />Benefits: Freedom from governmental regulation, <br />increasing markets and economic activi- <br />ty, as well as greater variety and <br />options in social acti vi ties. <br /> <br />Detriments: Urban sprawl and attendant problems, <br />and lack of growth in areas outside the <br />Front Range. <br /> <br />Mechanisms: Do nothing to guide population growth <br />and distribution; apply patchwork reme- <br />dies to problems of core city deterio- <br />ration, housing, transportation, pollu- <br />tion, etc. <br /> <br />Question for Proponents: <br /> <br />Are mechanisms to guide population distribution <br />ever appropriate? If so, what kinds and under <br />what circumstances? <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />
