Your response: Preserving the political power of the latino/a population in west Denver is critical as the city looks at ways to grow housing and slow down gentrification. Particularly in southwest Denver which regularly gets cracked into multiple districts and right now is divided into 3 different districts. Southwest Denver has yet to experience the scale of gentrification the westside north of 6th Ave. has, but that could change drastically this next decade if the city does not act aggressively.
