@Davriellelouna it used to be a lot worse. Check out https://denverinfill.com/. Denver has made great strides in bike infrastructure, has light rail, and as I recently discovered the 16th St Mall renovation is nearly complete.
As a Denver resident, I have to say that I think we are really trending in the right direction - but the 16th Street Mall is fucking gross. Millions in taxpayer dollars spent to take some of the most valuable land in the state and turn it into a soulless, boring suburban shopping mall. Walk down 16th on a Friday night, and it is pretty much dead except for people waiting for the bus. No small, locally owned shops. No bars or clubs to make a night life scene. But oh, there's a Macoroni Grill and a Yankee Candle! Great, for all the suburbanites who want to drive their cars in terrible downtown traffic!
@blarghly well i at last like the IDEA of the mall 😂 Storefronts can change🤞
Same 🤞
