GRIEGO: Downzoning dilemma
I cannot recapitulate the nearly two-year-long zoning battle in two northwest Denver neighborhoods that culminated in last week's 10-hour City Council meeting during which about 100 people spoke, extra security was on hand, several residents accused the city planning staff of underhanded deeds, a member of the aforementioned staff was lectured on the proper use of ellipses, residents invoked the ghosts of grandparents and great-grandparents, and the term "affected area" was used so frequently I thought someone might call for ointment.
