It's a wealthier suburb/exurb of Denver, it's up against the mountains so there are significant growth constraints, and the flagship campus of the University of Colorado is there, so there's a lot of permanent demand from both students and spin-off companies from the university.

Boulder isn't naturally constrained in its housing supply. There's tons of room to grow denser and to the North, East, and South if it chose to.

The thing is... it has chosen not to for the longest time. I don't expect the height restrictions or Open Space to go away any time soon.
