How could anybody say that San Diego is more densely built than Denver? Look at all the space and parking lots in-between San Diego's highrises compared to the virtually fully built, lowrise occupied space in-between and around Denver's highrises? Furthermore, this is only half of downtown Denver. It's not even close. Sorry. Denver is much more urban.
Want to talk about parking lots? Take hold of this beauty LOL
Here we go again . Except this time the rookie decided to post an even older aerial of Denver, LOL. How old is that aerial? 20-25 yrs old? This is getting quite old. Sad really. San Diego public schools must score extremely low on comprehension tests.
Literally 3/4ths of downtown Denver isn't even built in that ancient aerial you just posted. And all that "undeveloped land" has been explained to death.
I've already posted close-up pictures of each downtown and it's quite clear Denver is the more built up environment. Now compare that to this monstrosity:

Oh I'm sure that area has been all filled in right?

Are you kidding me? It's where all that horrible snow is in that pic, you just showed the same area but from a different vantage point, either way my point is made that you won't find anything like that near SD except for the airport, just face the fact that SD is much more developed then denver and has a long way to go before it feels like a real city like SD
If you seriously can't see the difference in those aerials then you're blind. And statements like "Denver has a long way to go before it feels like a real city like SD" doesn't speak highly to your credibility. I mean, really, you can't be serious. To top it off, you go and post an outdated aerial of Houston to compare to Denver. Big mistake considering I live in Houston and I can tell you first hand that Houston's skyline is larger than Denver's and San Diego's combined, and THEN some.
EDIT: I suddenly realized that I may have been trolled for the second time this morning. With that, this will be my last post on this subject as I feel I've taken far too much space. In closing, no matter how many homers come into this thread to boost San Diego and create troll accounts to vote, post, and rep people (such as myself) to talk trash, downtown Denver has significantly more street level pedestrian activity, vibrancy and urban build than downtown San Diego. That's not something a skyline shot or an aerial can display. It's something you'd have have to experience.
Denver is really pretty much KC but closer to the front range. No one has really pointed out anything amazing about Denver that can't be found in other cities.
I'd actually put it a step below Portland, now that I think about it.

I've made that point before, and though it's not a popular one among Denver-boosters, it's probably true. Denver really is more similar to Kansas City than it is to, say, Seattle, San Diego, or even Minneapolis.
On the other hand, Portland is not an especially nice place, and both Denver and Kansas City are in a better position for growth and development that Portland and it's poor economy (caused, in large part, by it's liberal economic policies).
And once again you would be WRONG as usual trying to portray Denver for what it is not.Must be getting tired of telling people about Denver from the mid-west. Denver's Cherry Creek North known as THE Rodeo Drive of the Rockies where I used to live and sell real estate is a destination shopping HUB with fine restaurants,galleries,spas ect. There are many second homes for Californian's,resort dwellers, artists ect. While other cities struggle to survive Cherry Creek continues to pump out new multi million dollar homes,condos,flats. Tourist are welcomed with six bike share kiosks within three square miles, the farmers market, several 10k run events..ect. That is only one neighborhood.
You're describing Aspen.
Cherry Creek is actually the most-visited destination in Denver. But it's also only a small section of the city, most of which is nothing like Cherry Creek.
