Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The building boom in metro Denver continues to be a big topic of conversation among our readers.
And one interesting take often begets a lot more.
Case in point: A comment suggesting that if developers could get away with it, they'd rip apart Lakeside and Casa Bonita in order to build more condominiums.
Plenty of readers have a strong point of view on the topic, including this one. He floats a pointed suggestion for future apartment-and-condo locations.

They waste water, only exist for a relatively small percentage of the population and are just plain a waste of space. build some apartments, a few condos and a park.
