Opinion: I’m a Denver YIMBY because I want the American Dream my parents built

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:10:54 GMT

When my parents moved to Chicago from India four decades ago, they had little money but arrived with a good education. After years of a lean but comfortable life, they were able to do well for themselves. They worked hard, bought a home, and raised a family. They achieved the American Dream.But today, even though I have degrees in political science and law and make a good living, buying a home like the one I grew up in is impossibly expensive in Denver – for me and many others of my generation.We can’t let the American Dream die. To bring it back, we must solve Colorado’s devastating housing shortage. We need to make housing abundant, affordable and equitable for all.Even though my parents didn’t have much money, they were able to buy their first home when they were in their early 30s.Like many Indian parents, when my brother and I were born, they wanted us to become medical doctors. Although I went into finance, they were overjoyed when my brother earned a medical degree from Case ...

This easy vegetarian pasta is full of brilliant hacks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:10:54 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesWhat is it about pasta salad that makes it such a divisive dish? Is it that the many bad versions out there — soggy noodles swathed in bottled dressing and tossed with wan vegetables — make good ones hard to imagine? Or maybe since the dish reached peak popularity in the 1980s, the entire category seems about as glamorous as a home perm on a humid afternoon.Given this prejudice, I will not call this dish of cavatelli, corn, tomatoes and red onions a pasta salad, even though it’s a snap to throw together, highly portable and equally good hot, room temperature or straight from the fridge.The most salad-y part about it, though, is how little cooking is involved. While your pasta (cavatelli or any other small, easy-to-fork shape) boils, you can briefly heat the garlic and crushed red pepper in some good olive oil, letting it cook just enough to toast the chile flakes and take the raw edge off the allium before pouring everything into a serving b...
