I think that you may have a point, but - while admitting I never seen Denver - I would like to ask you if you have ever seen a European city. Or, better yet, lived in one for a more than 2 weeks.
- jaclaz 6y agoYep, I also have never seen Denver, which could well be an exception. Being European and having lived, besides in my home city in a few other European cities, the article reflects my experience and what I observed, as said this not only applies to tourists, but also to market values of properties, i.e. to locals.
- bediger4000 6y agoI have seen European cities, but only Copenhagen as an adult, and that was in 1993. One of the obvious falsehoods in the original article is illustrated by Copenhagen. The article had some line about throughout history, people lived in neatly organized towns with periodic open squares. I don't think Copenhagen fits that model at all - the streets appear disorganized to my eye, with little orientation or regularity. Open squares appeared only haphazardly, and there didn't appear to be enough to satisfy demand. I will grant you that Copenhagen in 1993 would be far easier to live in without a car than Denver in 2020. But it wasn't the aesthetic dream that the article proposed, it was more "biological" and pieced together than architectural and designed, and even in 1993, Copenhagen had a mix of ages and styles.
