I agree with lhs79, smeeagain and reinhold23. Didn't downtown have a 50% vacancy rate in the mid-80s? Then the boom in the late 80s, DougCo. being the fastest growing county in the US? But we weathered the recession much better than the past busts, due in large part to Tabor. I have loved the "cowtown" atmosphere of Denver. For those who have fought to shed that moniker, congrats. You succeeded and brought everything that goes with it: more crime, traffic congestion, litter, pollution, less quality of life and a higher cost of living. How cosmopolitan!
