Downtown Denver and #Dallas are very similar, both have high office vacancy rates, both skylines came from 1980s energy booms, have a struggling core next to a thriving district, etc. Major difference? Denver's mayor is running a unified, well-funded downtown recovery that the council mostly approves, while Dallas's council is split 9–6 and focused on one thing, City Hall. That is why things like this are possible in other cities while @CityOfDallas spins its wheels. We had an opportunity with the @dallasmavs and our city leaders squandered it.
