An interesting takeaway from the paper is that the market (current and prospective owners) of the properties affected by the upzoning responded almost immediately to the market signal as indicated by the increased value of the land reflecting it's now higher use. However, construction of addition housing supply took a lot longer manifest due to a lack of demand in these submarkets.

I'd go with pithy over meandering.
Pity the pithy?

I plead the fifth. Impressed that you took the time. That makes at least one of us.

The overriding assumption that I still hold to is that any affordability improvements will be very modest and at the margin. For that matter downtown Denver isn't all that unique to the whole Denver metro area which is much less affordable than it once was.
