Boulder is well known for its commitment to preserving open space and limited population growth. However, by 2000, limited residential growth combined with university and commercial growth to create traffic congestion.

Boulder has a reputation as a bastion of liberalism. One mayor of the city famously described Boulder as "nestled between the mountains and reality." and is also commonly known as the “People’s republic of Boulder”. Boulder is, however, diverse and includes a substantial number of conservative and libertarian residents.
