There are a lot fewer people out and about on the streets of downtown Denver these days. Experts blame people working from home for this, saying these workers are not going into the office nearly as much since the start of the pandemic. I myself think that such factors as the remodeling of the 16th Street Mall, which now has blocks of fenced-in segments, and the forcing out of what looks like a majority of shops and restaurants in Larimer Square, due to building renovations, play a major part in the lack of crowds. And thanks to the huge increase in rents and the cost of homes in Denver, people are not moving here like they used to. However, that has not stopped the construction of new, luxury apartment projects all over the city. I predict they will sit empty until the rents start to drop, and once they approach affordability, the cycle will start all over again. In the meantime, my advise is to stay calm and hang on to your 8 roommates.
