Mayor Todd Gloria is bragging about our city’s selection as a finalist for the “Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability.”
“This award honors feasible and scalable solutions to housing affordability,” the Mayor boasted on Twitter/X.
The non-profit that sponsors the awards was equally effusive. “The City has taken ADUs to the next level by allowing homeowners to build additional ADUs on their property, an unprecedented move that allows the City to rapidly increase (its) supply and density of affordable housing,” said Hannah Gable, Director of Strategy and Operations for Ivory Innovations.
But even a cursory Google search would have given Ms. Gable pause about slavishly embracing the City’s willful distortion of the actual results of its “Bonus ADU” program.
Fact is, the Bonus ADU program has utterly failed to provide even one unit of the intended — and desperately needed — very-low or low-income housing.

Roll up For Cannabis Equity – A monthly column
By Terrie Best
Saturday is 420. I love a good party tip and the all-things-cannabis EventHi.io platform is a great one. It’s a one-stop for cannabis events nation-wide so you can search for your cannabis community wherever you are in the US. Except not Boise, don’t expect to find any real canna-culture on display in places like Boise. Still, the site has a way to make clear the event is a non-consumption affair if cannabis-free Boise did want to get involved.
EventHi was born out of necessity. When folks tried to use that other platform, Eventbrite to sell cannabis event tickets Eventbrite had thoughts. Being a total buzz-kill, they deleted many weed-related events from the platform and they became a huge nuisance. So a talented San Diego couple with extraordinary skills founded EventHi, a place where there are no party fouls and they will never ruin your ganja gala.
I decided to tour EventHi.io looking for local 420 events and give an overview of what I found for you.
