DENVER | Main Development Thread #6

[The Dirt]

"Character" is so subjective. It can be applied to almost anything. One person could define the character of a neighborhood as "quiet", meaning all of the streets are narrow and there's little traffic. Another one may define it by an architectural style or building form. Finally, someone could just mean no minorities.

Denver is not dipped in amber and no city can function when development is subject to such ambiguous standards. If West Highland wants to get together and create an overlay district with some design guidelines like LoDo then go for it. However, if their motivation is "ALL CHANGE IS BAD ARRRRRRRRGH!!!" and reverends that live in carriage houses next to their church want to build a small medical services facility on their property are part of some evil greedy developer cabal, then these people need to reevaluate their lives.
