Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:03:03 GMT

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. (KDVR) — Last week, the governor's office announced a plan to create more housing across Colorado. Senate Bill 23-213 makes way for more housing by allowing people to build accessory dwelling units, duplexes, triplexes or townhomes on their properties.“By cutting red tape, legalizing more housing choices, strengthening property owners' rights, and planning for future growth, we can create more housing at a lower cost in Colorado communities near where people work or play,” Gov. Jared Polis said.Under the bill, buyers can build multi-family housing, up to six units, in residential zones. It also allows for ADUs, or accessory dwelling units, to be built on single-family lots. The ADUs can be up to 50% of the size of the original structure and within 5 feet of the property line.

Chicago Bulls clinch a spot in the NBA play-in tournament — and can try to improve their seeding down the stretch

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:03:03 GMT

The Chicago Bulls clinched a spot in the NBA postseason Tuesday night — and they didn’t even have to do the heavy lifting.The Orlando Magic provided the Bulls with a gift by losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-113, clinching a spot in the play-in tournament for the Bulls, who are guaranteed to finish no worse than 10th in the Eastern Conference.If they remain in 10th, the Bulls would play a single-elimination road game against the ninth seed, with the winner then facing the loser of the 7-8 game for a spot in the first round of the NBA playoffs.They could climb higher in the standings, but that would require winning out — including Wednesday’s matchup with the first-place Milwaukee Bucks — or a series of losses by adjacent teams in the East standings.The Bulls were handed another advantage when Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young was too sick with a non-COVID illness to travel to Chicago for Tuesday’s game.Young was listed as out Tuesday after ...

Chicago Cubs’ increased expectations bring more scrutiny of manager David Ross: ‘That’s my job to make those decisions’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:03:03 GMT

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross treated each game the previous three seasons the same way.He returned to Chicago in October 2019 to win another championship for the franchise and wanted to take on the challenges that come with those expectations. Even when mired in back-to-back losing seasons, Ross brought this mentality into the dugout each game — reflected at times in his surly postgame demeanor when the Cubs were on the losing end.After two rebuilding seasons, the Cubs’ offseason investments and improved roster now align their talent level with the external perception that this group should produce a winning season.And by extension, this puts Ross’ in-game decisions under scrutiny. Even five games into the season.“I’m not perfect, I’m not going to be perfect, I’ll definitely make mistakes,” Ross said before Tuesday’s 12-5 victory against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. “I also know part of sitting in thi...
