Data shows more people are calling for help during emergencies, and Denver 911 is trying to keep up

According to data from the Denver Department of Public Safety, calls for service from citizens went up by almost 7% in 2021. Year-over-year data for 2022 is not yet available.

"We are seeing hold times far more often today than we are used to," Denver 911 Director Andrew Dameron said."And that is entirely due to our staffing levels, and what we are working to fix." Longer hold times can't be addressed with recruitment alone, Dameron said retention is equally as important.

Denver metro entering ‘period of neutrality’ as housing market shifts, September housing report showsThe Denver metro area appears to be entering a “period of neutrality” as homes stay in the market for longer and inventory levels shift in favor of buyers, the Denver Metro Association of Realtors September housing market report shows. Just wait till all those loans are upside down ;) Because houses are too damn expensive I don't know which side should get the most blame, the over pricing sellers or the over bidding/extra paying buyers. Allowing this insanity to continue for so long is why the housing situation is what it is now. Time to fee assess these properties on what THEY sold for.
