About 30% of Denver’s downtown office space is vacant — and that doesn’t include “zombie buildings" (coloradosun.com)

Bad news, that means that downtown is trending towards blight. More buildings will vacate, businesses will leave, great increase in crime, and a worsening of living conditions. Goods news is housing will be cheaper, but that also means downtown will be a slum.

It's the 1970s all over again.
