Governmental intervention to reverse both a macro- and microeconomic trend in housing? Perhaps, the author should've noted that Denver has an abnormally low percentage of condominiums in its housing inventory. Condominiums and townhouses are more affordable options that provide entry level housing. Instead of towering apartments for renters, we'd have towering condominiums for homeowners. Denver has exacerbated its artificial housing market by building inventory for renters. The logical consequence is that thousands of people get displaced. Attempting to "moderate" the housing costs by burning piles of taxpayer funds is self-defeating. Tragically, the Denver Post simply provides the racial propaganda "spin" of disinformation. People of limited means will continue to struggle to live and work in Denver regardless of their skin tone.
