Where do Denver's candidates really stand on the Park Hall Golf Course plans? That's what this city resident wants to know.
With so many candidates running for office in Denver this year, there’s a lot of uncertainty about what will happen on April 4. Amid all the uncertainty, however, one fact is clear: For perhaps the first time in Denver’s history, the vast majority of candidates running for office in Denver are running on pro-housing platforms.
Ideas that were considered politically toxic even to mention just a few years ago are now commonplace among the platforms of candidates running for office in Denver. Policies like ending exclusionary zoning, upzoning to allow for ADUs and missing middle housing, ending parking minimums, and more. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the candidates running on pro-housing platforms this year are struggling to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to supporting the Park Hill Golf Course development proposal.
While disheartening, it’s hard to say that it was surprising that no one wanted to support the PHGC plan. In the eyes of the majority of candidates running for office in Denver right now, supporting a controversial development whose future will have already been decided by the time the new mayor and city council members take office just isn’t worth the risk of losing an election.
