What's CITY Talking About?

🔎 What’s Really Going On Inside Infamous Aurora Apartments
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser is investigating whether CBZ Management — the company behind several now-infamous Aurora apartment complexes at the center of the national immigration debate — violated safe-housing laws in its mismanagement and neglect of the properties. [Denver Post 🔒]
🏠 Is the Mayor Solving Homelessness? Or Merely Displacing It?
While the Johnston administration celebrates hitting its most recent housing initiative goal, housing advocates counter that the mayor’s success eliminating homelessness near the city’s center has merely swept the problem into Denver’s outer neighborhoods. [Denverite]
- The other side: Hear from Johnston himself on the matter. [City Cast Denver 🎧]

🗳️ Concerns Linger Over Elections Security Breach
After the Secretary of State’s office exposed sensitive, election-related passwords online, Governor Polis is assuring voters the problem has been fixed. But if not for a whistleblower, would officials have even acknowledged the security breach in the first place? [City Cast Denver 🎧]
🚲 Cyclists Unite to Fight in North Denver Bike Lane Debate
Dozens of Denver cyclists gathered along North Denver’s West 29th Avenue to protest the city’s decision to cancel plans for a protected bike lane in the area following complaints from local businesses who say they would lose parking. [Denverite]
- Hear more: We recently discussed the debate in detail on our podcast. [City Cast Denver 🎧]
