Can converting empty offices to apartments solve Denver’s housing shortfall?

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:01:20 GMT

Denver’s mayoral candidates, as well as Mayor Michael Hancock’s administration, have emphasized converting underused office buildings into apartments or condos as an important way to address the city’s housing shortfall and revitalize the downtown area.The idea represents a “kill two birds with one stone” solution. The pandemic reduced the number of people working in offices, which has caused vacancy rates to soar and mortgage loans to go into default. At the same time, Denver has struggled with some of the biggest home price and rent gains seen in any city outside of California.“While many employers have embraced hybrid work policies, commercial offices are unlikely to return fully to the way they were pre-pandemic. The city believes there is an opportunity here to help create a more complete neighborhood downtown with more housing options by focusing on vacant commercial and office space,” said Laura Swartz, communications director for Den...

Colorado doctors, advocates tackle “pervasive” health misinformation head-on

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:01:20 GMT

Before the pandemic, the conventional wisdom in public health was that trying to engage with misinformation was like throwing water on a grease fire — nearly guaranteed to spread the problem.But it’s become clear over the last few years that bad information about vaccines and other hot health topics is already so widespread that it’s unlikely that the first time someone encounters a myth will be when they see a post debunking it, said Emily Clancy, communications director for Immunize Colorado.A 2021 poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found 78% of adults had heard at least one myth about COVID-19 vaccines and either believed it or weren’t sure whether it was true.For example, if almost no one had heard the idea that COVID-19 vaccines could change their DNA, pointing out that they can’t might spread the lie to people who wouldn’t have otherwise heard it. But as is, almost everyone has heard those kinds of falsehoods, so that’s not much of a...

What happens if Park Hill golf course developers don’t keep up their end of the bargain?

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:01:20 GMT

Denver voters hold the future of the Park Hill golf course property in their hands in the city’s Tuesday election. Again.Referred Question 2O asks voters if they want to lift a conversation easement that bans any development on the property beyond an 18-hole golf course and secondary recreational uses like a driving range or tennis courts. Lifting the easement would make way for commercial and residential development on the land located off Colorado Boulevard and East 35th Avenue. The ballot question specifies that “development” in this case would include affordable housing plus a public regional park.But how can voters — assuming yes votes prevail — be sure they are getting what they vote for?The short answer from the property owner and city officials is there is a legally binding agreement already locked into place via a City Council vote.“The development agreement basically says that if the developer breaches any component of the development agreement the ...

How Casa Bonita springboarded local man’s career in high diving

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:01:20 GMT

This story is one in a series featuring trips down memory lane with longtime Casa Bonita fans and former employees who shared their fondest tales with The Denver Post. The restaurant and entertainment venue in Lakewood is expected to reopen in May.As a kid growing up in Lakewood in the 1970s and ‘80s, Mike Dvorak was well acquainted with Casa Bonita. Like many locals, he and his family always took out-of-town visitors to the pink palace to enjoy its unique atmosphere. But Dvorak never expected that the restaurant would change the course of his life.Dvorak, 54, was a professional high diver until he retired in 2003 after an illustrious career that started within the humble halls of Casa Bonita. And he’s the first to admit that wasn’t his original career plan.“If I wouldn’t have been at Casa Bonita I probably would have never gone down that life path of being a world high diver,” said Dvorak, a self-proclaimed sopapilla junkie.In 1985, Dvorak was fresh off earning his GED and attendin...

Human Rights Watch, the international nonprofit organization that monitors the way governments treat their citizens around the globe, sums up the current situation in Cuba in acute terms.“The government continues to repress and punish virtually all forms of dissent and public criticism, as Cubans endure a dire economic crisis affecting their rights,” states the opening line of HRW’s 2023 World Report.The report goes on to detail shortages of medicine, food and energy as a backdrop to arrests of protesters and political opposition leaders who are held in overcrowded prisons; harassment of bloggers and journalists suspected of anti-government views; and violence and structural discrimination against women, Afro-Cubans and the LGBT community.“Hung Up to Dry,” a painting by Gabriel Sanchez.
