A major commercial real estate company is buying up buildings in downtown Denver and wants to convert the empty offices into housing, but the mysterious landowner is standing in the way . And what does the owner of Lakeside Amusement Park have to do with the mayor’s big plan to revitalize the city’s urban core?

Bree spoke with Paul López on Monday’s show about his beef with the mayor’s proposed budget cuts .
