Due to peculiarities, I've visited downtown Denver during weekdays and weekends many times over the last few months. Compared to pre-pandemic, weekdays are laid back, there's on street parking a lot of the time. Weekends there's no on street parking, restaurants appear to be full for brunch, and there's lots of pedestrians. City of Denver did make lots of efforts to get people to live downtown for the last 20-30 years. The new lodo buildings behind Union Station are all "walkable city" type, with sidewalks and commerce on the ground floor.
