I am just going to post this here for you all to read. It is a critique of Denver's urban development that was published in Medium. I personally found the authors arguments, while poorly developed, to be interesting and worthy of further discussion. I am curious what other people on the forum have to say.

Today, we’re somewhere near the peak of an incredible real estate boom in the Mile High City. Rents are soaring (just this year mine increased 15%) and the housing market is a shark tank in which first-time buyers are the chum. We applaud our city for its popularity, and its continued success while most of the country stagnates in slumping markets… but we shouldn’t. Denver is missing its last opportunity to become a world-class, 21st Century city. It’s choosing, instead, to be an average, 20th Century American city, and that means we all lose out on something special....
