Description: In 2023, Denverites voted on referendum 2O, intended to lift the city’s conservation easement on land in Northeast Park Hill that was formerly known as the Park Hill Golf Course. Westside Investment Partners had purchased the land between 35th and 40th, and Colorado and Dahlia, in 2019. Their development plan included lifting the conservation easement that restricts the property to serving as a golf course, and then constructing housing, retail spaces, and a park. The 2O referred measure was Westside’s third attempt to lift the easement, with each effort being voted down by Denver’s voters. This article examines the history of the 155-acre plot, from 1859 to 2023.

Westside Investment Partners had purchased the land between 35th and 40th, and Colorado and Dahlia, in 2019. Their development plan included lifting the conservation easement that restricts the property to use as a golf course, and then constructing housing, retail spaces, and a park. The 2O referred measure was Westside’s third attempt to lift the easement, against a community group that ran an opposition campaign. The opposition group, “Yes for Parks and Open Space,” hoped to protect the citizen-funded easement, and had hopes that the city would buy the property and build a large park. Ultimately, each of Westside’s three easement removal efforts were voted down by Denver’s voters. This article reports the final referendum results.

Description: In 2022, Coloradans for Affordable Housing Now put forward Proposition 123, which proposed setting aside 0.1% of state income tax revenue for affordable housing programs, to help ease the state’s affordable housing crisis. The measure was anticipated to earmark about 2% of income tax revenues, or nearly $300 million in its first fiscal year. It would include aid to develop more housing and provide assistance for certain renters and home buyers. The measure would leave the state’s income tax rate unchanged, but would reduce the amount refunded to voters under TABOR provisions. Fiscal conservatives, including the TABOR Foundation, were opposed to the measure, seeing it as a hidden tax reducing refunds to taxpayers. The measure passed with more than 52% of votes in favor.
