Great thread, but also a really important point about city councils being mostly elected in off year elections by people who are generally least affected by the housing crisis.
@RlyJohnConnor Denver just lost its single best chance for a massive infusion of affordable housing. The landowners will never again try that—which is exactly what opponents wanted all along.
More Denverites ages 65 and up have voted than all people ages 18 to 54 combined.
If this trend continues, older Denverites will set the agenda for the city, picking an entirely new mayor and reshaping City Council.

This is the vision that Denver voters have the chance to approve today with a #yeson2o vote. To see what the site would look like with a No vote, drive past the Park Hill Golf Course today and imagine a giant fence around it.

It's not too late to vote in Denver! Here's how to make sure you’re registered (or get registered), find your ballot (or vote in person), make a pick, and get it done.

If - IF - Denver voters say yes on Referred Question 2O in tomorrow's election, what assurances do they have they will get what they're paying for on the Park Hill golf course land? https://t.co/8DvdyszEaF
Great video from @alanthefisher on Denver's transit system and what we can do to strengthen it while decreasing traffic - we SHOULD build more housing near transit!
Also, thanks for the shoutout!😳
I’m not gonna lie—I have been a huge fanboy of @axios and Smart Brevity since the day it launched. It’s completely transformed the way I communicate with and on behalf of my clients. Being included in this story made for a bucket list kind of day! https://t.co/stLVUnfLbq
I joined a group of Denver Green School Northfield sixth graders to hear their ideas for the Park Hill Golf Course. In the mix: a cemetery, fake streets for kids to practice the rules of the road, 100% affordable housing, and 3 grocery stores. https://t.co/vx4SzvrKJ1
@MartyLenz_KOA @KOAJeana Thank you for the opportunity! Denver’s upcoming vote will decide whether this site can become Denver’s 4th largest public park, new affordable housing, and unlock $150M in community benefits… OR keep it exclusively as a golf course. #vote
Westside Investment Partners, the current owners of the Park Hill Golf Course, will look into including a “Topgolf-like facility” if voters reject proposed development plans, a spokesperson confirmed to Denver7. via @robharristv https://t.co/dQ3mjPEYvf
When asked what we can do congressman Tim Burchett said “we’re not gonna fix it”. Every parent in America should watch this video and know this could be their child’s school and Republicans say there’s nothing they can do to fix it.
VOTE THEM OUT
@SenadoraJulie@KyleClark@MikeJohnstonCO The community benefits agreement has been signed and is now in full legal effect. It's been officially recorded with the City of Denver and is publicly available. The really meaty commitments start on page 7:
