Amazon’s second headquarte­rs and Denver’s diminishin­g quality of life

- Gary Hall,

It is ironic that Colorado is touting the quality of life in the Denver metroplex as a major incentive for Amazon to locate here. The quality of life in Denver has been diminishin­g for at least a decade due to overcrowdi­ng. Interstate 70 traffic has be- come prohibitiv­e. Trail heads and parks are becoming mob scenes. What used to be open space is wall-towall housing. If the public gets a say in the Amazon deal or Olympic hosting, I will be voting no.
