Proximity to transit that doesn't take you anywhere except Five Points, which you're afraid of, and the South suburbs. So useless, in other words.
It's the wrong end of downtown from any of the amenities - is on the edge if everywhere, but nowhere you want to be - and it's zoned for big development, which is a bad combo. I think 20th/Broadway area is behind even Arapahoe Square in terms of development. We need an infrastructure/amenities investment of some sort up there - something to give that place an identity. A reason to be there. Not unlike the square that's missing from Arapahoe Square. I'm not really sure what that would be though. It's an interesting challenge, that area. Arapahoe Square benefits from being Ballpark east. If there was any single area where not having torn down the old buildings would be helpful, it's around there.
