Sort of like how you find the Denver to Houston comparison
laughable or pretty much anything you've said.

Guess what? So does Austin.

Nowhere near to the extent of Denver. Not even close. Actually laughable. But you'd know that if you had been.

Civic Center Park is a park with the capital building on one side and the city hall on the other. Nothing else. It's not even really a neighborhood or area people go to. Weird you even brought it up or used it as an example of anything other than going to the art museum.

That's exactly what I'm saying. This has nothing to do with population amounts. This has to do with population density.
Factually, Denver's population density is higher than any city you've mentioned. But you're obviously into cherry picking figures to boost your propaganda. Curious why you'd leave that out considering you're so into numbers.
DT Denver or any of it's central neighborhoods being described as "ghost towns" is utterly ridiculous. Houston's core on the other hand...

No concern of mine. Keep doing you.
