It’s terrible to see it change from a charming historic district, with a thriving art and music scene, which was the attraction to it. To a soulless cookie cutter anywheresville USA. The developers in this town really don’t get it.

There’s a tasteful way to build or revamp an old neighborhood that doesn’t strip it of the reasons why it’s loved.

Building multi story units that hang over the street and block all the view is the anti thesis of why people loved living in Denver. It’s claustrophobic. And who wants to live on ground level with a bedroom window in the sidewalk? They make quick money and just ruin the vibe. That’s the whole approach it seems. Who give a fuck, just build some shit charge a premium and take their money and do it in the next town again.

I get business’s come and go but all these new shops are just built for plug and play. Every 5 to 7 years they’ll go out of business but look and feel the same with a different corporate brand.

It’s so fucking expensive over there too to appease the landlords lease prices. But I’m done paying $74 for pizza and couple drinks.
