A worried city trying to remember to be welcoming — 4 Comments

  1. I agree that we need to look at it in the positive viewpoint. As our city grows, it will impact for good and for bad. However, I believe the good will far outweigh the bad. I am a local business owner and I believe that I am already seeing positive fruit happening from it.

  2. What I hear expressed is a call for balance. I agree that the mayor went too far specifically focusing on promoting immigration of people to Denver in the very strong way that he has, but we were naturally going to get an increase in population anyway. Beginning with the wave of people that relocated to Denver after WWII, Denver has constantly had to integrate large numbers of new arrivals. Denver has always integrated these new arrivals and built a stronger Denver with them. We need to do the same for the 21st century arrivals, although it will be hard because of many factors, a primary of which is the extremely large number of recent Denver immigrants and the lack of investment in infrastructure to support all of us.

  3. I agree with Tom. Both the Mayor and the Governor are the culprits, insisting on helping more people to come to Denver. For what purpose? The result is that our formerly blue skies are once again polluted from vehicle discharge and lots of PM 10 and 2.5 – the particles of vehicle exhaust that cause both asthma and heart problems. We got rid of it once, last century. Thanks but no thanks for both Mayor and Governor pressing for more people to locate in the Denver area. Bah! Humbug!!

  4. It grieves me to read the President of INC extolling economic advances and ignoring the social effects of newcomers who want to make Denver like the place they came from.
