You don't live in the real world. The people in the suburbs pay city taxes when they work downtown. They pay RTD taxes. Throwing up a bunch of apartments attracts low-income people that can't afford houses in suburbs or otherwise. That is in addition to people already there. People not going anywhere. People successful enough to buy homes are the people that are getting hired downtown. That, or they rent an apartment downtown at twice the cost of a monthly mortgage payment on a house in the suburbs. BTW. Have you ever even been to the Mineral station? In addition to the parking lot, there are 1000s of homes, the Aspen Grove shopping center and a massive apartment complex. There is also a huge open lot to the south. Feel free to buy it and build more apartments.
