Against the strong objections of neighborhood residents, the City of Denver allowed a real estate developer to build twin 32 story luxury apartment buildings (seen in the photograph above) at the corner of South Downing and East Bayaud Streets here in Central Denver. In anticipation of the increased traffic to be generated by the project, stoplights have been installed on that corner, and I can't help but notice that every time I pass that intersection, there is a huge traffic backup, even though the buildings are still empty. I can just imagine what life will be like in that quiet residential neighborhood once those two towers are fully leased. Another victory for city hall and the real estate developers, but a major loss for neighborhood residents. Surprise!
