text: This is how you become Chicago, Detroit, Hartford or any of the other Democratic led cities that are staving off bankruptcy. In boom times instead of setting aside funds for a rainy day you have leadership that keeps borrowing and expanding bottomless pit social programs. The Hancock Administration seems to announce a new billion dollar spending plan weekly. Tear down the performing Arts Center and rebuild it with condos. Sink miles of I-70 underground. Turn the City Park golf course into a storm run-off pond. Line streets with bike lanes instead of parking. Renovate a perfectly fine airport terminal into a shopping mall. Build more dormitories for the homeless. 
  
  Don't worry Mayor - between the parking ticket patrols, the odds of getting shot by gang bangers and the army of homeless beggars Denver is already taking steps to reduce traffic into the city. Within ten years the millennials who have been flooding into downtown will be fleeing to the suburbs - or more affordable cities.
